Hi,

I am going to Mexico on June 21st. I have only told one person about my surgery, I dont know if I am embarressed, ashamed or what. All I know is that I am so excited I cant sleep. My heart is constantly racing. Does anyone have any advice on what I should bring that the dr. hasnt told me.

Thanks

Hi Rachel. Who's your doctor. My adivice is PACK LIGHT. You will have to take that stuff with you back to the airport. All you need is a book comfie jamies or sweat suit, & wear on the plane back what you wore there. Slippers. Some people bring an extra pillow for when they cough post-op. I didn't have one & didn't need it. I travelled alone (my husband couldn't come cuse of our kids & I hadn't told my mother yet),not that she would have been any help!. I was totally fine by myself & went from NY to Tijuana. I made friends there that I am still in touch with. Feel free to PM me. It's coming up soon, & you will do great!

Thanks for the advice. I am going to see Dr. Sanchez in Monterrey. Only 2 days left. I see how much weight you have lost, and I am so happy for you. I am at 235, so just about the same start weight as you. Did you have your fill in TJ also, or did you do it locally, also how long did you wait?

Thanks,

I hear great things about Dr. Sanchez.

I do not think you have a thing to worry about ,but as others said, pack light, maybe take along some GasX and liquid tylenol for the flight home.

Michelle's right, I did forget about the liquid tylenol & gas-x. Absolute necessities. And yes, I did go back to TJ for my 1st fill. Feel free to PM me if you'd like. Best of luck and let us know how you do.
