My friend and I are going for surgery with Dr. Kelly on August 6th. My question is.. do we have to stay at the Lucerna hotel for two days after the two day hospital stay or can we just stay one night at the hotel? Is two better and do most people stay the two in hotel?

Thanks... just need to know for flight return times.

Also.. is the hotel far from the hospital if we have problems?

That's all.. thanks!

Hi, I just had surgery with Dr. Kelly on 7/13 and I think it is necassary that you stay 2 days at Lucerna.. They come visit you at the hotel.. I am not sure how far it is from the hospital that the surgery is performed at but when you leave the hospital you go to another hospital to have a leak test and it is 2 blocks from that hospital.. Hope this helps and good luck...

Hi Julia,

I only stayed one night, but I stayed at the Hacienda Del Rio because Lucerna was booked up. It's up to you but I'd let Trish or whoever, know your plans before you schedule your flight. I wish I had stayed the extra nIght because I was enjoying myself and hanging out with my sleeve sisters. I hear Lucerna is very nice too. Good luck to y'all please update on how things are going! Oh, and the hotels are close to Dr Kellys office from what I understood.

Thanks Julia, the great part is it doesn't even feel like a diet at all. It's just eating smaller/ normal meals. After the liquid diets pre and post it is really great! I have my whole MX experience now in my "about me" section now. And a few pics in the glallery. Take care!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
