I will be having my surgery in San Antonio, 1 1/2 hr car ride away. Worried about the long car ride home after surgery. Any helpful tips to make it comfortable as possible? Should we stop every 20 minutes for me to get out and walk? Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

@Beck90. My personal opinion. After reading hundreds of post on this site I don't want to read anymore to get info. The information is all over the place. Some post after reading make me hesitant to go through with the surgery. Everyone's experience has been different and everyone's Doctor is different. My best friend was sleeved 7 yrs ago in Beirut, Lebanon. She never had to have a EGD test or the Motility test, no pre opt diet prior to surgery (ate pizza the night before surgery). To date she eats whatever she want (3 to 4 bites) drinks wine (no soda bc it just doesn't agree with her) has an occasional smoke and still looks amazing!

Question?? I had mine today and the night before nothing to eat/drink and my doctor told me only liquids after the procedure until tomorrow morning. Is this normal? I'm hungry!! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I'm not in your area I'm from Texas and it's $14,000 my insurance doesn't cover it. I've done all but one test and it's taking so long to get it scheduled. You would think since I'm paying cash they would hurry the process up. My husband works in Saudi Arabia and I have told them numerous times I have a window whilst he's home to get this done since I have to drive two hours to San Antonio Texas to have the surgery Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
