If you went to this surgeon, were you able to bring a support person? If so, was there an additional cost? Was that person able to stay with you in the hospital? Thanks in advance!!

Yes, they provide a couch in your room, which I have heard is very comfortable.They can stay in your room with no charge.I have also heard that the food in the cafeteria is very good and quite reasonable.

People seem to find other people from here that are going to be there at the same time, and the support people are able to hang out with each other.

You will love it there. All of us who have been there have nothing but wonderful things to say about everyone at the hospital. They are all great people!

yes,

my honey slept on a leather sofa for 3 nights..he was quite comfy. The hospital provides bedding, towels and Shampoo for both of you as well.

He would go down to the hospital cafe with the other "supporters" for meals..it becomes such a family atmosphere. You meet other patients on your burp walks up and down the hallways!

Dr. Aceves and Dr. Campos are the best!

Tennessee1031,

Yes by all means bring a support person. There is no extra charge if they stay in your hospital room with you and the staff is very accomodating. I keep saying...once you go to Almater, you'll wish you never had to have surgery stateside again!

Good luck!

Ditto to all of the above. I was just there as a support person and it was quite comfy.
