Hi make sure you wear compression socks and continually drink Water through out the flight. The Dr may give you some other form of medication while you are there to prevent blood clots on the way home. Send an email to your Dr and tell them that you are nervous about the 6hr flight do they have any special recommendations. Don't panic

Ausmith and xtina.. Thank you so much for you support.. Good look to every one that is going to Mexico to have this done!!!! We all be fine!!! Lot of prayers!!!!

Those with long flights make sure you are stretching your legs and getting out of your seat at least once an hour to prevent blood clots! Keep your circulation flowing!

I had surgery at OCC in Tijuana 2/25 & it was a great experience. My friends & family were against it also but my daughter went with me & is now fully on board with it, the staff at the hospital & Marriott were wonderful, the Van driver that picked us up in San Diego was also wonderful. I did very well with the surgery as I followed all the instructions I lost 12 pounds on the ore-op diet & now am down 25 pounds total as I put 6 pounds back on after surgery which is expected .

Good luck I am sure you will be pleased & do well

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
