Hello, I am considering sleeve surgery in Mexico and Im looking for feedback from other individuals whom have traveled for their surgery. I will be traveling home to Canada following Surgery in Tijuana on a direct flight that will take about 3 1/2 hours, 4 days post op. Those who have done it, how tolerable is the flight? Is a wheelchair needed in the terminal? Any special supplies recommended to make the flight more comfortable? If we end up switching flights to having one with a layover, is that ok, or too much? Thanks guys! Sent from my SM-N910W8 using BariatricPal mobile app

Hello everyone! I am set to have surgery August 15th (eeep!!) and although I am incredibly excited, I am also extremely nervous like a lot of you are (were) well. My question is about travel after surgery. I will be traveling immediately after surgery as I am a self pay patient from Canada and will be having the procedure in Mexico, however we also have a family trip booked to Disneyland almost exactly 3 months post-op as well. My question is, do you veterans think this trip is doable physically? I am fully prepared to pack my own shakes, snacks and replacement items to eat at the park, but I am wondering if I can expect to feel physically well enough to tackle the park? I am quite active now, averaging about 10k steps a day on my fit bit, but I have no idea what our bodies are like post-op. Any insight would help. Thanks!! Also, if someone recommends renting a scooter, you become my favorite. Lol.

Thank you for your feedback!

How are you doing now? Warm water helping?

Wow!! Thats incredible! Did you use the meal plan the clinic gave you? Do you min sharing? My stats are almost identical and I have surgery coming up in a month. I'd love to see success as quickly as you, way to go!

Was this at ALM clinic? Can you share your experiences? Thanks

Hi! Was this at ALM clinic? I am considering booking there in late August and would love to hear your experience! Thanks in advance

Thank you Dixie02

I have also heard to bring extra dressings, gauze and tape as supplies can be limited. I am looking to schedule for August 21st and I will be bringing a stash

I'm considering booking with Dr Ortiz with ALM in August. Any input? He seems to be very highly rated also

August 22nd with Dr Ortiz!! Eeeep!!
