Dr. Lopez was very nice and caring. Some of the nurses speak better English than others but they all are super nice and are there to make sure you have everything you need. You will stay on one floor the whole time. The 3rd floor is in the shape of an L and at the end is the recovery and operating rooms. You will be walking the hallway lots for recovery, walking is very important, even if you don't feel like you need to get up and walk. My husband had me up about 30 mins after I came back from surgery. You want to walk to help the gas in your belly. I didn't pack a lot just comfortable clothes and house shoes. Dr. Lopez or another dr will remove your drain the night before you leave. It feels weird but it you will feel better when it is gone. The hotel gives you 3 bowls of chicken broth, two Popsicles and 2 bottles of Water each day. At the hospital they have a cafe that closes at 4pm so if someone is going with you they will want to get there dinner before then. Also on the 4th floor there is some ladies that make food up there and Brian said it was really good. It was such a smooth process and I can not tell you again how nice and how good the nurses and doctors treated me. You will meet and internist, anesthesiologist and Dr. Lopez before surgery. They all are great. When I got back to hotel the chicken broth did taste different but I think it was my taste buds from surgery. I did eat Jello there and it was easy to get down. If you have any specific questions just ask me.
