Hi everyone, so I've been planning a nice Caribbean vacation with a couple of friends for this summer, but I'm nervous since I might be sleeved by that time.

I'm hoping to get my surgery in late May, early June and traveling for a week abroad in late July. Is that too soon to go abroad?

If you traveled soon after your surgery, what was your experience like?

Or how long did you wait to go abroad?

I'm in the same boat (lol no pun intended). I'm being sleeved hopefully late May, I'm traveling to DR June 19th. Surgeon said I will be fine to travel! I did some research and many people have traveled right after surgery. I think the 2 months will be more than enough to travel. I'm not going to over eat, get plenty of water and avoid alcohol. Maybe a sip of champagne (it's a family wedding lol). But I should be healed enough for the pool and have energy

I traveled for a week to Florida at 11 weeks post op. I did pretty well, actually lost weight on vacation for the first time ever. The hardest part was the actual traveling because I had to plan ahead and make sure I made good options when eating out.
