Parent of daughter who is going to Alamanza



Recommended Posts

I'm traveling there with my daughter next week. This web site has been very informative for me however I wonder where the support person stays. I was told that they make room for you, does that mean we are put out back? LOL Is this a safe place? While I am very excited for my daughter, after reading all of the posts it has given me some things to think about.

Her surgery is on Aug 30th. I'm hoping that there is someone out there that can give me some feed back!

most people have mentioned a cot or couch in the hospital room in Mexico - don't know if all Dr's are the same

Hi, I am going with my son in Sept. I'm told that he is welcomed to stay at the house, however, I will be bringing enough money to get him a hotel room in case the house beds are full ( they will let you sleep on a sofa or floor if they are ). I am told the hotel near by is 5 star standard and they will bring him back and fourth. I hope this helps.

The floor?

I was told they would not kick someone out if they didn't prepare and have enough money to get a hotel. They seem very nice to me. They said they would let me know prior if they hadn't enough room so I could get him a room if need be. Some people just refuse to separate and the beds go to the patients first.

The floor?

Actually I hadn't thought of that! I think that I'll be looking into that fine hotel that is up the street. I was told that it is about 56.00 per night. Pretty reasonable for a 5 STAR hotel. Can't wait for this aventure.

You will stay in their room at the clinic in a cot or a chair. They will make room for you at the recovery house however, if it is full, you might have to sleep on the floor or on a cot. The hotel is nice, I would not call it a 5 star but it is very nice for about 60.00 per night. Talk to your coordinator, she should help you with this. Louise was my coordinator and was a great help.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
