    Default Travel Companion

    Hey guys, did y'all go alone or bring a travel partner? I'm looking at the finances and its definitely cheaper to go it alone but will I really need someone to travel with? Having surgery with Dr. Hernandez. If you took someone are you glad you did? If you didn't take someone did you wish you would have? Talk to me.

    Ok I did not fly to get surgery but when I went home I felt tired and worn out. I think if I had to fly I would want a travel companion. That is my 2 cents.

    Thanks Christie finances look rough for a companion but I think it may be worth maintaining my stress level. I will keep praying about it. The answer will come.

    I went by myself and was fine. I have had some friends who have asked me to go with them though then they all ended up having theirs done in the states locally.

    What cost extra? I know a plane ticket, some food. I would never go without my husband.

    I think it's a good idea. Traveling companions bring an unforgettable experience to your journey. I often find fellow travelers while traveling and while staying at a hotel or dining in a restaurant. I like to get to know new people and extract more experience and pleasant emotions from these situations. I just love spending my vacation like this. I once decided to use vacation rental management 30 A Florida, and I found a companion who wanted to check into this hotel with me, and we spent some wonderful days and became friends. I am all for communicating with new people and finding fellow travelers.

    I've had some strange situations, some very strange ones. Still, I've never experienced anything like what happened to me in the German subway. In general, I got off at the subway station, which was a pass-through station, that is, only for transfers, without going outside, and the money for another train was not there. Moreover, it turned out that I did not understand where I was. If it were not for the guys from https://www.dbauskunft.com/de/, I probably would not have written this post now because I did not know the language, and people were not. Only a homeless man at the station looked at me very suspiciously as if waiting for the moment when he could attack and eat me.

    Hi, Dr. Nava here.
    It is definitely helpful for a patient to always travel with a partner, mainly for emotional support which is key for the recovery. It will also make you feel extra secure, but even if you want to make these experience by yourself you can do it, remember that you can always discuss it with your doctor.
    If you happen to have any questions about bariatric surgery feel free to ask me!

    Dearly,
    Dr. Kim Nava, patient experience manager at Hush Bariatrics
