At four months out .....
I say absolutely, go for it. You should feel just fine. Have you decided if you're having RNY or VSG? I only have experience with the VSG obviously, but there would have been no reason for me not to go somewhere at that point. Grab the deal!!!

Vertical sleeve gastrectomy at Obesity Control Center (Dr. Ariel Ortiz), Tijuana, MX. Self-pay, self-referral, 4-week wait. Abdominoplasty Aug 10, 2013 (Dr. K. Dolynchuk, Winnipeg - self-pay)
Let me put it to you this way....I went snowmobiling with my hubby driving(he is a DAREDEVIL) at about 4 weeks out. I was a little sore but it was soooo doable. I barely ate anything though, so I brought protein shakes and bottles water. You'll be much farther out and eating and drinking much better than I was at 4 weeks.
I think a hot holiday at 4 mos out would be spetacular and awesome, you"ll be down a good amount of weight by then too!! WHOOHOO!! I say, BOOK IT!!

Totally. Unless you have crazy complications . I'm 5 months out this weekend. I can do anything. OI have way more energy. Should be interesting to take a holiday somewhere nice , having lost weight.
Best part is you will have a little more flexibility with eating at 4 months vs 2 months. I found some foods really hard to digest up until recently. Much easier to grab stuff on the go.
But then again I was flying 4 days after surgery, shopping and getting around just fine. I went back to work after 3 weeks, and while tired did good.

thanks girls, I trust your opinions so Cabos here we come! although I think the all inclusive thing will be a bit of a waste on me this time lol...certainly won't be drinking my weight in booze this trip. I'm not sure how much i will have lost but I imagine my current bathing suits might get swept away in the waves...... might have to look for sales now...... lol

Go for it, I am jealous. I just had my 3 month anniversary this week for the sleeve and I can eat absolutely anything and quite a bit of it at that. I am actually surprised at how much I can eat, I thought it would be a lot less. I am eating between 1000 and 1200 calories a day now which is what Laura and Dr. Andrew both recommended to me. Yes, get a smaller bathing suit . You'll probably be down at least 3 sizes at 4 months out...What a lot to look forward to...new body and trip..yeah!

Here's my own personal experience. At only 6 WEEKS out I left on a 3 week holiday that included 1 week of Disney with 2 small kids and only my husband to help. I was ok and I was super worried, worried enough i was going to cancel my surgery date. I'm glad I didnt. Plus, I'm the one that was puking multiple times a week and I was still ok to go. Don't worry! I know easier said than done...Go & enjoy!
