Plane tickets are expensive

Yep and the closer you book to the date the more expensive the tickets get. I checked 2 weeks ago and the tickets were just over $200 but I didn't buy them. I checked today and the tickets are $300-400. I can't order them until this Friday so I am scared to see what they will be.

It may be cheaper but it would probably take 3 days to get there. Buses don't take the quickest route. They go through and make stops in all the towns between here and there. I have heard of it taking someone 1 full day to get to a place that was only 6 hours away normally. I could not even imagine what it would take to get from the east side of TX all the way to the west side of CA. I would much rather pay the difference and get there in 3 hours.

I also waited to book my flight and just got raped at the checkout! The price has increased by at least 200 dollars in the last few days. I should have gotten the ticket days ago, or even weeks for that matter. It's finally real though. Tell me again what should I pack?

You don't want me to answer that!! I overpack no matter what! I will have 2 full suitcases for a one night stay. My husband gets so mad at me. He says I pack stuff I have not touched in over a year. I am trying to go light since we are flying and we have to pay for extra bags but I start panicing if I think I don't have everything!!

Check Kayak.com for flight prices. They will tell you if you should buy them right away or if the prices will change within the next few days & if you should wait to purchase them, also they will track the price & email you when it drops.

I heard that those websites know that you've been there more than once and jack up their prices when you return. Supposedly you're supposed to delete Cookies or something but I forgot to do that.

Sneaky web sites!

You should be able to fit everything you need in a carry on bag. I did & even brought my CPAP & an extra pair of shoes.

Sometime it pays to buy the ticket and if you need to change the date pay the change fee. Sometimes it can be less than the higher price of the ticket.

I know all about high ticket prices. I am flying 7000 miles each way on an airline that has the monopoly in my neck of the woods!! Damn you United!!!!

I feel your pain. I'm flying 15 hours for a 5 hr flight followed by another 3.5 hour flight and its only costing me $800 one way! /:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
