I posted this in the support groups I am apart of, but would like to hear from you all also.

Quick lighthearted question

I have my departing flight from San Diego at 7:25PM to Phoenix at 10:00PM where I will a layover until 1:45AM. From there I'll arrive in Chicago at 6:00AM where I'll have another layover until 8:30 where my final flight arrives in Toronto at 11:00AM. Where depending on how I feel will take an uber or bus home (I don't live that far from the airport).

The question is: Will I die?

Oh my goodness!!!

The most dangerous part of the trip will be to and from the airports. Sip Water (you can bring empty bottles with you. Clear flavored protean powders make sense to me which will keep you energy level up. Wear support socks to prevent blood pooling...https://www.amazon.com/Travelsox-Patented-Graduated-Compression-Performance/dp/B000UQZB94/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1481310462&sr=8-1&keywords=travelsox+compression+socks

The statistics say two things: 1) It's going to suck (I hate airports, TSA and most airlines) and 2) you won't die of this.

I would suggest you use your layover time to walk. By the way keep your bag under 20 pounds when you leave so you can pick it up with out causing strain. See you on the other side.

Thats a long trip everytime you a chance try and

Thank you the reassurance. My doctor provides compression socks and I will be taking blood thinners before my flight. I plan on bring Protein powder and bouillon cubes with me.

Thank you I will. I'm actually more concerned about it being overnight and staying up in my already weak state.

My hubby had his Sleeve surgery last June, we called ahead for a wheelchair on our trip home. They were great!! Someone pushed him to where we were going and the GREAT thing about it is we got to go up front and be loaded first. Like was said be sure to sip and sip some more. Dress in comfortable clothes too. You are going to have a LONG time traveling. Make sure you walk as much as you can. Good Luck

You're flying all the way to San Diego to have the surgery?
