Trizzy, I haven't worried about the surgery but yes I have voiced some of the same concerns about my plane ride. My husband and I never fly without my daughter in case of a plane carash but I couldn't bring myself to take her to TJ with us. I guess I'm psycho with you because I have anxiety about leaving my daughter.

We're getting banded that same day!! I'm so nervous about flying with nothing to drink. Look for me I'll be the big girl :nervous (ok a little pre-band humor).

Just scheduled today for August 16th with Dr Ortiz. No time to graze last supper syndrome since I have to start an "Atkins" type diet tomarrow followed by the liquid diet. Hope to see someone from the site in Tijuana. Patti

I was going to go with Dr Patel at Atlantic City Medical center but I have AETNA so now I'm going to Mexico. I was really bummed because Dr Patel made me feel very comfortable and all he does is Lap Bands. Not sure if he's too far for you. Good Luck.
