Hi! So I have scheduled my sleeve surgery for October 2014 at the OCC with Dr. Ortiz! I'm excited and really nervous! I want to make sure I come prepared.. So, what did you bring with you to Mexico? Anything you wish you'd taken? Anything not to take (I tend to be an over-packer)?

I have my surgery scheduled on August 24, 2014 with Dr. Elias Ortiz. I'm going through A Lighter Me. Thank you for posting this as the suggestions do enhance the information that was available to me in my client package.

Keep the packing light. You will be handling your own luggage on the way home, so keep it light for lifting. Keep it simple and downsize where you can.

It was also recommended to take $1 US bills for tipping and such. I plan to enjoy a little shopping while there, so will have some small denomination cash for taxis, too.

Your profile does not say where you live. I am coming from Calgary, Alberta, Canada

This is the official list I found and Ive been using while packing for my trip:
