tampa 55 Posted September 25, 2013 There are lifting requirements so what does everyone use to travel home. A suitcase alone typically weighs 5 lbs. I am traveling alone. Having my surgery Friday. So excited Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Italiancurves 117 Posted September 25, 2013 Make sure it's on wheels and DO NOT hesitate to ask people for help lifting it as needed! My doc says nothing heavier than a gallon of milk for first two weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snufflegus 80 Posted September 25, 2013 When my husband went to Mexico I called the airline and requested a wheelchair and made then aware he would need help lifting his carry on. He flew alone and with Delta and they were very accommodating. He just had to walk from drop off to the check in desk to request his wheelchair, which at LAX he was happy to have! Safe flight!

homersmomma 77 Posted September 25, 2013 I checked my bag after I removed important items like my tablet. I had a smaller bag that my purse and tablet would easily fit in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madam Reverie 2,958 Posted September 25, 2013 Take very little. You won't need it. Best of luck with your operation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
