How can we go to mexico? Id have to buy 2 seats on the airplane. Id have to buy 2 seats back, too. Id probably end up throwing a blood clot because of not walking enuf. Plus, is ther a place on the forum to find out how other early sexually abused sleevers do with any type of wls?

I was prescribed anti-coagulant injections for a month post op plus I wore flight socks for 2 weeks post op. Anti-coagulants are really expensive in Mex so you may want to try and get those from your PCP. I was fine flying 10 hours shortly post op from Vegas to LAX then back to London (and San Diego to Vegas a few days before that).

You'd have to discuss all this with your surgeon however.

I was almost exactly plane seat size at the time of my op so I can't really advise on that I'm afraid.

It's admirable you're looking for psyche help - I haven't noticed much of that on here. Maybe someone else can chime in with some advice on that. Maybe there's a different forum out there better suited to this.

One book that was recommended by bariatric surgeon Dr Watkins is "Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever" by Dr Roger Gould. I've not read it just yet although I have purchased it. It gets good reviews on Amazon.< /span>

I just had my psych evaluation with Jeff Lorence in Charlotte last week. He was great! I hope you get this straightened out.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
