I am also having surgery 5/23 with Dr. Alvarez in MX. My BMI is low enough so he said I didn't need a pre-op diet but I'm doing it anyway! There is a web site where you can order individual sample sizes of popular Protein Drinks. www.vitalady.com. I ordered some a few weeks ago. They come in 2oz sample sizes. I kept track of which ones I liked and which ones I didn't. Good luck!

I was anxious and embarassed the first time I ever took my CPAP with me. I got over it really quick. They are only interested in the machine itself, not the mask or tubing. If you put it in your carry on luggage, be prepared to slip it out and put it in a bin by itself. Sometimes they remove it and scan it with the little cloth that detects the explosives, but most of the time it just goes right on through the Xray and I pick it up on the other side. Good luck

Hi everyone: I fly to San Diego tomorrow for my surgery with Dr. Kelly in Mexico. My question is: Has anyone taken their cpap/bipap/vpap with them on a flight? And if so, did you carry it or check it? They want me to bring mine, and it does have its' own little backpack it fits in - at least I think so - I have not had it very long. I am a bit nervous about the surgery, but it is the best choice for me - for once in a very long time I am doing something for myself - Full Speed Ahead!! Thanks for any advice you can give me. Jean

I will be sleeved May 23rd with Dr. Alvarez in Mexico. I'm both excited and scared. Looking forward to the journey that we'll all be taking together!
