I like that idea better than a recovery house and being brought back and forth in a van for pain meds.. Lol how much are you paying for your sleeve? I know dr. Almanza is 4500.00 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynnz 13 Posted June 13, 2012 yes, well the first night pre- op is at hotel, then 2 nights at Hospital MI, thats the name of the hospital, then 2 more nights at hotel. I cant imagine going back and forth in a van and staying at a house.. im sure its going to be fine for you but I feel more comfy at hotel/ hospital. Dr Garcia is $5000 for everything but airfare to SanDeiago. I think its worth the extra $500 for comfort and stability. But who am I to talk, I haven't gone yet Ask me in a month ..
