[tami88 73]

Does anyone have a Mexico checklist they would want to share? I am making mine now and would love to see yours

I am looking for anything, before, during after.

Tami,

My surgery isnt for months but I like to plan ahead and have been keeping a running list of things people say are useful in MX and that I know I would use.

So far my list has:

Neosporin

Body wash (dial soap)

Extra bandages

broth packets

Heating pad

Extension cord

Little pillow

sleeping mask

Chap stick

Gas X (strips and pills)

Slippers and socks

Night gown

Mind sharing yours to compare?

[does not matter 39]

Need to bring

Gas x strips

Lip balm

Ear plugs

books

Laptop + cord

Phone charger + phone

Paper/pen/lists (Q’s)

Baby wipes

Deoderant

Pj's

Camera

Heating pad

Stool softener

Nail polish + clipper + polish remover

Bathing suit?

Comfy clothes

hat

Biotene dry mouth spray? ( a few suggested this)

Small extention cord

This is my list so far

There are some excellent suggestions already mentioned, but just in case, the post in this thread about Dr Aceves patients is helpful for everyone going to Mexico. Here's the link: http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/1748-dr-aceves-gastric-sleeve-surgery-information/

This is all WONDERFUL info. I am making my checklist now and will be adding all of these and will post later.

MANY thanks

I know some have suggested bringing broth but what about clear Protein mixes/drinks? Should they be brought to use in the hotel or can you wait til getting home to start protein?

I am bringing my powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken broth with protein in it. Just in case the broth there is not up to par some love it. Some hate it. Other than that just focusing on clear liquid and will start more protein when I get home.

Good question! I am stocking up on broth and Isopure for when I get back, but I hadn't thought about post-surgery! I am scheduled for the 20th with Aceves.

Great great thread. So helpful.

What about money in case extra charges come up with doctor or hospital?

Also I saw something about small bills for tips.

Any input, oh wise ones? :-)

ellie_kae, you won't need anything to drink. They will supply you with more delicious broth, Vitamin Water, and hot tea than I could possibly drink LOL. Oh, and I asked for ice chips and ate them by the spoonful. I now prefer super-cold drinks to hot ones.

Thanks, amykins! That is helpful; I appreciate your input.

PS Isopure is NASTY! Don't stock up too much. I bought two bottles and only took a couple sips of one. Blah!

I imagine that it isn't very tasty but seems like a good way to get a lot of Protein. Even if it is gross I have to drink it!

Good point. I put unflavored Unjury in my crystal light.
