Winter vacation with band...

I am being banded in one week (9/27/11). I've been researching a winter vacation with friends & they are ready to book today. I'm not sure what it will be like after the band. I know I won't get my "moneys worth" at the all inclusive, but it's really more about the convenience. Also will my insurance cover me if I have any issues when I'm there (I'm from Canada & have travel insurance through my work plan & my husbands work plan)...just wondering if any other Cdns have experience with this.

Appreciate any advice/insight.

Thanks,

Lisa

I don't know about insurance coverage. As far as eating, you should be able to find band friendly foods like fish and veggies. As far as having trouble while your there, I wouldn't get a fill within a week or so of your trip. If you haven't had a fill in a while you should be fine. If you are getting sick, even occassionally, you might want an unfill before your trip. I just got one yesterday because I"m going to Europe for 11 days. Enjoy your trip!

I have no advice for you on this one, as only banded since Aug 15th and haven't not been on a vacation yet. But I just wondered where in Canada are you from? I live close to Toronto, Ontario.

I live in a small town just south of Winnipeg, Manitoba.
