It's an outpatient procedure. Go back to the hotel after release and walk as much as you possibly can. There will be several others there for their procedure. It is not uncommon to see others walking the halls and outside. Day after, you go back for IV therapy, keep walking, day after that you can fly home. I had absolutely zero issues after the procedure or on the flight home. My flight was only 1 1/2 but I did have a 3 hr drive home that same day. Good luck, it is life changing in all of the best ways. Not one little doubt or regret in my mind since. You are in great hands, the staff is wonderful!!!

The price quoted is what you pay them, no more. If you do have insurance they will also bill your insurance carrier and collect that amount. If your insurance carrier does not provide any coverage you will not pay more than that quoted amount. Their Fast Track program starts at $6,799, you pay a $500 deposit to secure your date and pay the balance prior to surgery. My date is 1/9, it has been a great experience thus far.

Did you already have tour procedure done? At a hospital? In Mexico? Every Dr and/or hospital and even person is different. I had no need for any aftercare, it was a breeze for me and I'm thankful for that and know that not everyone is that lucky. The Dr provides their cell numbers and of course you can call 911 if needed. You have to have a companion with you should anything arise...thankful I didnt have any problems. This is a top notch facility, I'm sure if there was any concern they wouldn't have the procedures they have in place.

Preop has been challenging that's for sure, my 4th day was the worst...its been much easy after I got over that hump. Stick to it, I have read and been told that recovery is much easier when you follow a good preop diet. Everything all works together. Congrats on your date. You got this!

I did just fine going back to the room after surgery. Gas pain was the worst of it. Up and walking every hour during the day and every 2 hours at night. You go back to the clinic the day after surgery for an IV infusion and meds. You will feel 100x better after this lol. You will stay at the hotel again the night after surgery. You won’t fly home until 2 days after surgery. My flight was much better than I anticipated. I was actually able to doze through most of it. Make sure you wear your TED hoses on your fight home.

Congrats and good luck on your procedure. Excited for you!!!!

A friend had her sleeve with him last year. She seems happy with her experience and has had amazing results.

We need time for the nutrients in the small amount of food we are eating to have the ability to be absorbed to the fullest. Adding liquids flushes it through our system quickly.

@Niabird. I'm going to Blossom, my surgery is 1/9, I'll keep you updated on how it goes. I had a friend go 2 years before they had the FastTrak program and has nothing but great things to say about the facility, Dr.'s and staff.

Good luck! Wishing you safe travels and much success. Can’t wait to hear about your experience.

Thanks I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

I am scheduled for February 1st. I think my biggest dread is making it through the 2 week pre-op diet!
Good luck to you for your January 9th surgery.

Yay! I fly out Sunday!!! I am ready to get this going!!
