I am planning a band to sleeve revision in Tijuana. The idea of flying 3 days after surgery is not very appealing. How was your experience? I have considered staying an extra day in the hotel just to give myself a little more healing time. Would you have stayed an extra day if you could have?
I was sleeved Saturday July 18th in Juarez, Mexico and I flew back home Monday to Orlando with a plane change. I was fine. They sent me home with pain meds, acid reflux reducer and anitbotics. The plane ride wasn't bad. I took a pain pill prior to my flight in case things got uncomfortable.
After I was sleeved, I flew home on day 4 I think, 3.5 hour flight. Wasn't horrible, until I decided that I wanted some sips of my husband's hot cocoa. Thought I was going to DIE!!! Kind of like a dumping syndrome. Too bad it didn't last...LOL
