Newbie and travel question after surgery

[Nyelaah 77]

Hi everyone!

I am new to this whole process and sooooo happy I found this forum. I want to hear about where other newbies are at with their process to surgery. Here is mine...

I went to the bariatric seminar on Jan 13 (it is mandated by the center I am having surgery in)

February 10-my first appt with the nurse practictioner to go over details and to determine if I am eligible

February 15-sleep Apnea test

February 27-Endoscopy

March 6- Psyc eval

Then doing the weight lost management March 10 and April 7. This covers my 3 months mandated weight lost management by my insurance.

The financial coordinator said it will take about 2 mths so I could be cleared as soon as June/July 2015.

I feel like everything is going by really fast and that I do not have as many restrictions or tests to get done as I have been reading on this site. So far so good...

OH I do have a question.... I am going to a wedding in the caribbean in September 2015. I am concerned about having surgery in June/July then going away in September. Do you think I should wait until September to do the surgery or will I be fine if I have surgery in July and go away in September.

Doctors normally give u one to two weeks to recover so I think you'll have more than enough time to be ready for your trip!
