What do you take to Mexico for your trip?



Recommended Posts

One thing no one told me to take but I knew from two C-sections was absolutely necessary..a Pillow! I had an 11+ hour journey back from Mexico and between the wheelchair my husband kept running into walls with at the airport & flying/take off/landing having a pillow to hold over my stomach was a lifesaver.

We were given everything we could have needed for me in the hospital..bottle Water, slipper, hospital gowns. My companion had to eat elsewhere though so we made sure we had money for that.

Past that:

Any meds you currently take

Comfy clothes to come home in...seriously pick your most comfortable outfit!

Toiletries

Info for your travel companion..google translate was a lifesaver for my hubs

Gas X for the ride home (for sure!)

Protein mixes for the right home..like I said 11+ hours for me so I had to have something to drink on the way home & there are not a lot of options at the airport.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
