What Did Your Traveling Companions Do?



Recommended Posts

So my wife is traveling with me, I won't say where because we haven't made the final choice on where to go yet. :)

What did your traveling comps do while you were laid up recovering? Do any places have amenitities for the significant other or should I just have her bring her library.

We went to Star Medica in Juarez Mexico with Dr Rodriguez. My husband and my daughter went with me and then my mom and her boyfriend came to visit for 2 days. Star Medica hospital had what I refer to as a hotel suite lol My husband and daughter had a separate room with leather couches, plasma tvs and refrigerator and phone then there was a glass french doors that opened into my side of the room with my bed, large bathroom, big fluffy futon couch and a recliner with another TV and phone. Really nice, clean and the cleaning crew was there daily changing sheets, cleaning the floors and bathrooms etc. After I got out of surgery my family went to the restaurant next door, went to the mall across the street and ventured out places for me to walk when I would do my rounds =) There was a nice sitting area and cafeteria on the 1st and 2nd floors where the "family members" would meet up while us patients were sleeping or resting. There was 6 other patients getting their surgeries done within a 2 day time frame and we all arrived at the same time so we got to know each other and that helped my family with extra time they had too. Of course, there is always wifi to get on the internet as well!! Only on my 4th day there, the day I went home, did any of us get bored lol So for us, it wasn't an issue with what to do with time!! Good luck!

      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.
