I can't believe that I only have 17 days before my surgery with Dr. Kelly. Time is speeding by. Need to start making that packing list.

I am trying to avoid checking my luggage (I think it is ridiculous that it cost $50 to check luggage!). Do I really need a heating pad?

_{I brought a small bag with me that included a heating pad. I f you do not bring one, then you will need it lol. It actually helped me a great deal and I was so glad I brought it. I was also sleeved by Dr. Kelly. I love him. He was awesome. He cared for me way more than I ever expected!!!!}

_{If you pack lite, which I did you only have to bring a carry on.}

_{I brought zip up light robe, nite gown footies (instead of slippers to save room) I wore lose pants, with waist bann there and wore the same ones home just another shirt and underclothes. I stayed mostly in my room so maybe one or two outfits, if your up to going anywhere. It is good to walk, and the hotel is nice enough so we walked the halls and up and down the street (very close). My husband showed me how to roll everything up like they do in the military. lol . I brought no makeup, no blow dryer, just gas x strips. I can not remember what else. Hope this helps.}

I am so happy for you! I am jealous I have to wait 8 more weeks . I am so anxious and want to be here already.

Im here in Tijuana now,leaving tomorrow. I only brought a carry on. I did bring my heating pad and used it. Whatever you pack, keep in mind when you leave you will need to bring home your chest xray,xray from your sleeve test and your surgery medical file. I also went shopping on Revolution street and bought a few things. I have some re-packing to do tonight.

Chap stick, tooth brush, hair ties, comfy clothes, (moo moos, sweats etc) slipper socks, gas x strips, heating pad, cell phone, kindle, or iPad, are the things I've seen most people are sayings

And I'm going to see Dr Kelly in June! I already like him so much! Can't wait to meet him in less than 90 days! Best of luck, and keep us posted!

Thank you for all the responses. I was thinking the no makeup and no hairdrier thing as well to save space and avoid problems with a carry on. That is going to leave me pretty rough looking Hoping the hotel has a hair drier.

Don't think I am going to do any shopping. I am trying to declutter like crazy at my house and one of my rules is not to bring anything new into the house!

I like the rolling clothes idea. I was in the Navy so I remember those days well.

If anyone thinks of anything else let me know! So far I have ordered a bunch of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein powders and a few single serving sizes to take with me.

Cissie when in June is your sx?

June 9th!

You're having surgery on a Saturday??? I didn't know he even did them on Saturdays!

That is the day I told Anaid, and she said "okay" so I don't know! Lol

That is the day I told Anaid, and she said "okay" so I don't know! Lol

Good luck in your surgery! mine is May 10th with Dr. Kelly. I asked Anid that same question and she says the only day he does not work (well he does go and checks on patients) is Sundays. I looked at the hotel website (its in spanish) it says that they do have hair dryer and iron. http://www.hoteleslucerna.com/plaza/tijuana/habitaciones that is the website, there is a 1800 number if you have any expecific questions, they probably speak english, if not feel free to message me and I will be happy to call them and ask them for you. Good luck in your surgery!
