I checked in this morning and so far so good. I did have to pay an extra 8 for WiFi log on for my mom' date=' the included code you get is only good for one iPad/computer to log on. It wasn't a big deal for me, but can see how the misrepresentation of "wifi included" would definitely annoy others. The room service has been very attentive, we had them stock the in room refrigerator with waters and soda (for my mom). Haven't tried the Popsicles since Rosie told me not to have one tonight, I will definitely be trying some post op though! The broth downstairs was pretty good too. Guess we will see how things go when it is time to check out :). Checking in to the hospital tomorrow!

The hotel is very nice though, incredibly clean and the beds are very comfortable! The bathroom is super nice[/quote']

I see where somebody posted how expensive the refrigerator was to use. How much is the refrigerator?

You just pay for items that you use out of the fridge, 2 bottles of Water a day are free and sodas are $2. So not terrible...the alcohol is pricey, but we don't drink :). When I get released from the hospital we are going to go to Walmart to get stuff so it will be cheaper. I plan on picking up a few extra gatorades and my mom will get Snacks and drinks. We could have walked there today...but we were EXHAUSTED and practically collapsed in the hotel beds for 3 hour naps.

Asap when tax return done

Same here, the tax delay kind of put a kink in the works :( Now I'm just kind of winging it and hoping returns come quickly so I can reschedule if needed.

Im dealing with the same thing! I just went ahead and moved mine up a week. Dont forget the closer you wait to order your plane ticket the more it will cost.

      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.
