I believe they do. I use Priceline and sign up sp they can alert you when the price drops.

also remember to check some smaller budget airlines individually. I wound up getting the best price and flight by booking directly through Jet Blue.

I'm going alone (2/11 date with Dr. Ariel Ortiz & staying at the Marriott). I obsess over the little things . . .e.g. we have lifting restrictions after surgery so picking up my suitcase in the hotel room? Pack light! Super light, and use a rolling suitcase.

I live in Southern Cali so I'm lucky in that a good friend is driving me down to the airport where they'll pick me up to head across the border. She's also picking me up afterwards.

I actually like the idea of going solo. I don't have to worry or focus on anyone else - just me!

I agree. With you I went alone and I liked it better than having to worry about someone else while I am recovering I did fine while there

I went to TJ alone & had no problems or worries. I was actually taken wetter care of there than some of the hospitals I've been to in the US. Everyone was very informative & hospital & recovery center were very clean. The Dr's, Nurses & staff were great!!! Best experience I've had where surgery was involved.

I am going alone March 22 to Garcia thru Ready4Achange and I am so excited... Figuring out flights is a pain! (Huge expense to figure into budget for times needed) Does anyone know if MiHospital has WiFi?

I have seen many posts that say that the hospital and hotel both have free Wi-Fi

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
