Essential Packing Guide
for Your Stem Cell Therapy in Puerto Vallarta
Embarking on your journey toward improved health and vitality is a monumental step. While you may feel a mix of anticipation and nervousness, there’s also excitement about taking control of your well-being. The desire for better health, renewed confidence, and a higher quality of life drives the decision to undergo stem cell therapy.
Packing Essentials for Your Trip:
Wheeled Carry-on Luggage: Opt for a wheeled carry-on to avoid heavy lifting during your trip. If you need to check a bag, ensure it’s wheeled, as lifting heavy objects should be avoided post-treatment. Upon your return, arrange for someone to assist you with luggage.
Leave Valuables at Home: It’s best to leave jewelry, metal piercings, and other valuables at home since they must be removed before therapy.
Comfortable Clothing: Pack lightweight, comfortable clothes like pajamas and loose-fitting outfits with elastic waistbands. Don’t forget slip-on shoes, personal hygiene items, and all your current prescription medications in their original bottles.
Entertainment: Bring along a tablet, smartphone, or small laptop for entertainment during travel and recovery, as most TV channels in Mexico broadcast in Spanish. Audiobooks, e-books, or music can be great companions for your downtime.
Limit Luggage: Pack light—1-2 small suitcases should suffice since your primary location will be the hospital. Please be mindful that drivers may have limited space for luggage.
Passport or Identification: Don’t forget your passport. If your Patient Coordinator has instructed you otherwise, you may bring a driver’s license and birth certificate instead.
Comfort Items for
Your Stay and Return Home
Consider bringing the following to enhance your comfort during your stay and journey back:
- Sleep Essentials: Earplugs and a sleep mask can help you rest better.
- Entertainment Devices: Music players, tablets, and smartphones (with chargers) or books/magazines to pass the time.
- Comfortable Clothes: Slippers, a robe (though the hospital will provide a gown), a loose outfit for your return trip, flip-flops for the shower, and extra socks and underwear.
- Hygiene Products: Pack essentials such as a toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash, hairbrush, and any personal hygiene products you may need. Women may want to bring sanitary towels, as tampons can be uncomfortable post-treatment.
Additional Suggestions:
Notebook & Pen: Keep a notebook handy to jot down questions or take notes during your consultations.
Neck Pillow: Helpful for your flight back home.
Comfortable Shoes: Wear shoes that are easy to walk in during your trip.
Toiletry Basics: Bring items like shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, skincare products, and hair ties.
Jacket or Sweater: The hospital or airplane may get chilly, so it’s good to have a warm layer.
Useful Travel Tips:
- Cash on Hand: Bring some smaller bills for tips and minor purchases.
- Cell Phone Service: Most cell phone plans work in Mexico without any issues, but check with your provider to see if a short-term international roaming plan is needed.
- Wheelchair Assistance: If walking long distances at the airport is challenging after your procedure, let the airline know you may need wheelchair transport between gates.
