Just A Few Questions About What To Take
jn26845 replied to cissiesue's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I'm not sure if there was a laundry facilites at the hotel.While i was at the hospital i used there gowns to save room in my bags i just wore there gown and a pair of yoga capris. I'm sure they would give u to gowns if you asked so your back would not be showing..They had a surge protector in the hospital room so there was room for a few plugs in but i had bought a like 3 or 4 foot cord so that way i could use my phone or nook from the bed or recliner if i had to. Also it would be great for the heating pad if u needed to use it. -

I took a small extenson cord it came in handyto plug up cell phone and nook. i also took a heating pad but never used it.I only had a carry on. There is also a store across the street we walked to that sold gatorade . I also got broth from the resturant at the hotel. They also give u 2 bottles of water in your room and there is a coffee maker so i used that with the small packets out of the oodle n noodles i took with me. -

How Many Days To Plan For Surgery With Dr. Kelly
jn26845 replied to sherlee's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I arrived on wed afternoon stayed at the hopital that night had surgery next afternoon. Was in the hospital for two nights after surgery and hotel two nights. There was a lady that was there when i was she went home a day early. But i think my amount of time was fine. . . Also i think you will love the hotel. If you need gatourade or popsicales they is a store right acroos the street. I also bought my kids a bunch of spanish candy back in place of souvaniers. They loved the idea but was not many of them they liked. -

I would use him again i had no problems at all so far. No real pain just gas but the next day after surgery that was gone. Not sure how high your bmi is but i was on a liquid diet 3 days before surgery . But i took it upon my self to try to diet 2 weeks before sugery. I lost 10 pounds preop and have lost 20 postop. Good luck to you in you search. Alos i sugest to find a protein drink that u like i love choclate unjury i also tried one from walmart but it was awful.
