My husband and I were planning a trip to Mexico next year, however it would be the month before my surgery. Does anyone know if it's okay to be in another country right before surgery? I plan on sending my surgeon a message on Monday, but I wanted to see if anyone on here knows anything about this. Thanks in advance.

Hi there, it's funny because my husband and I went to Mexico exactly 3 weeks before my surgery. I checked with the hospital nurse and the doctor and they said it was no problem. Please check with your doctor to as they may have different requirements. Also, watch what you eat there as my hubby and I both had quite a bit of tummy trouble once we got back. Good luck to you.

I went to Puerto Vallarta two weeks before surgery! Awesome vacation

Thank you for your experiences. That makes me more hopeful. I'll definitely email my surgeons office tomorrow.
