traveling alone.

I am leaving April 16 to INT Hospital in TJ. I will be staying at the lucerna after the sx. Anyone going my way. I would love to actually know someone there!

I don't know anyone going at that time, but I just wanted to encourage you that you will do just fine on your own and you will quickly make friends with those that get sleeved with you. Good luck!!

Thank you. I'm actually most worried about flying. I haven't flown in 20 years!

LOL.. I traveled to Mexico alone to have major surgery... my biggest worry? Not being able to buckle my seatbelt or fitting properly in my airline seat!

I have a Facebook group, with many people going to many different Dr's and if you would like to join let me know, you might be able to find a Sleeve bubby there?

I SO feel your anxiety! You can go to seatguru.com and look up your flight and aircraft and know how large the seats are. The plane I flew on had 18" seats. I was 290 pounds at 5'5" and a size 26 pants and I fit with the arms down and was able to buckle the belt without an extender.. (I wore a loose shirt and stretch pants and buckled the belt UNDER my tummy then let my shirt drape over so nobody could see how ridiculous that looked)

I went by myself and im actually glad, then I didn't feel like I had to worry about anyone or entertain anyone. Also I think it made my recovery better because I had to do things on my own. Also I was sooo anxious to fly since I hadn't before. I took a chill pill. I was so afraid the seatbelt wouldn't fit,well I was fine, til the last plane on my way home. It wouldn't fit, I was mortified! I quietly ask the flight attendent and she brought me an extender sort of secretively so I didn't get embarrassed.

Hi,

Sorry to say I am not going to be there. I just wanted to let you know I traveled alone, and honestly it was good. I never had to keep anyone company. I met some of the other patients and we because great friends. You will meet them once you get there. Relax everything is going to be just fine.

Hugs,

Suzanne
