I'm flying in to San Diego for surgery in Tijuana ... anyone else going to be in the area? I'm just looking for support...I'm having a hard time getting my family on board with my life change. ..but I'm going thru with it regardless

Help, i need help.. No to the site but no anwered from no want. Have lots of question traveling to Mexico. Having surgery with dr. alejandro lopez. Frying fron NJ to San Diego.. 6 hours flght and very nervous... Some please anwer me please. How is the flight?

Hi I am from Australia and needed to fly 10 days after surgery so my Dr made me use blood thinners for a week before and a week after I also had to wear compression socks. My flight was about 7.5hrs. I also had to constantly sip Fluid through out the flight. Call the office of the Dr and tell them you are nervous about blood clots from flying so soon after surgery and ask them what they suggest to prevent it. Take a small pillow to hold against your tummy in case it gets a bit sore during the flight other than that you will be fine

      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.
