lauratro 67 Posted October 23, 2016 My husband and I were planning a trip to Mexico next year, however it would be the month before my surgery. Does anyone know if it's okay to be in another country right before surgery? I plan on sending my surgeon a message on Monday, but I wanted to see if anyone on here knows anything about this. Thanks in advance. Sent from my SM-N920T using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I checked with the hospital nurse and the doctor and they said it was no problem. Please check with your doctor to as they may have different requirements. Also, watch what you eat there as my hubby and I both had quite a bit of tummy trouble once we got back. Good luck to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
