Vacation
Let me start by saying I KNOW everyone reacts differently to surgeries. So when I post this, I'm just "looking" for some suggestions from vets out there.....
My family usually goes on vacation every summer. We were looking into some options but I don't know that I'll be ready. I'm having RNY on March 23rd and my husband's vacation week is June 27th so that'll put me at about 3 months out. I don't HAVE to go on vacation, I'm just wondering if anyone out there traveled that soon? I meet with my surgeon next week and I'll talk to him, again, just looking for suggestions. Thanks.
You should be fine going on vacation. You'll need to make sure that you stick to your eating plan.
I think it will depend on what you'll be doing while on vacation. If you'll be sunning at the beach, definitely. LOL
Talk to your surgeon but I don't see why you couldn't. I had RNY and I could have traveled at three months post-op.

depends what you are doing. With hindsight, I think I was stupid at 2 1/2 months post-op to go trekking and wild camping in the Namibian desert, 100s of miles from anywhere, not even local villages! Apart from anything else, I had no way of telling what I was eating as our guide just cooked local food over a camp fire. But nothing went wrong!!! Luckily as I guess I would have had to be airlifted to Soith Africa if anything had gone wrong and we didn't even have a satellite phone. I think I was insane!
So maybe not that, but a more conventional vacation won't be a problem!
