What To Pack For Mexico



Recommended Posts

For those of you who have gone to Mexico, can you help make a list on what to bring. Anything you where thankful you brought or something you wish you had brought. Or maybe things you brought that was totally unnecessary.

Thank you in advance for sharing your experience.

Hey Melshel1...I think there is a nice long list somewhere on here that lots of people have posted on.,..I saw it when I first joined a few months ago. Maybe do a search? There were tons of posts on it :)

Here are some things I am packing based on reading others posts:

Heating pad (helps with pain, and comforting)

Ear plugs

sleep mask

Chapstick (lips get very dry and cracked)

Biotene dry mouth spray (gives moisture especially right after when u can't drink water)

Slipper with non slip bottoms for lots of walking

Comfy, loose fitting pants or clothes

Would love to hear other suggestions :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
