Traveling/vacation after being sleeved?



Recommended Posts

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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
