Planning on going in April! My husband and kids will go w/ me to San Diego for a weekend, and then stay there while I go across for surgery. I don't want my kids going w/ me so I can heal and focus on recovery, so they will all play in San Diego and enjoy the sun. We got passports for everyone, just in case I need them to come across, but I can't imagne that happening.

Looks as if my husband will be able to go with me after all!! I'm so excited. We're waiting to see if he will be able to get off!. I'm ok if I must go alone but I will feel much more comfortable if he's there.

Oh I'm so happy for you!! My dh says he doesn't want to go while the kids are little because something might happen to the 2 of us. He also doesn't want to pay for he extra plant ticket. :(

I know my friend keeps pressing me to leave the hubby at home. She says you will be taken care of and you can save the money. We will play it to by ear and see how he ends up with work

I'm scheduled for surgery on February 5th with Dr. Aceves, and I'm going alone. I have a friend who's offered to accompany me, but I figure some.alone time while recuperating will be a good thing :-).

Good choice! I went alone to Aceves, too (12/20/12) and it was nice to rest when I felt like it and not worry if my traveling companion was bored, needed something, or was feeling entertained. Plus, you will make friends there!

Same here! I really like the idea of having the time to myself for a surgery about ME. I did buy a very lightweight suitcase to help with lifting restrictions.

I could have had my sister come with me, but I feel the same way. I want to be able to just relax and watch TV and walk around the hotel/hospital without worrying about someone else being bored out of her mind!

I think this is a great idea. Your hubby and kids cxan have a little fun in California while you have your surgery. Terrific planning. :)

Very true. :) You don't want to have anyone else to worry about while you're there post surgery. You need only to concentrate on yourself. :)

Two weeks from today I will be traveling to Tijuana alone! Many friends and relatives think that I am out of my mind, but I have great faith in Dr. Fernando Garcia and his staff. I firmly believe that they will take excellent care of me.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
