Just wondering, when we check into the hotel the day before surgery, do we check out the day of surgery or does our room just sit empty until we return? Also to the people travelling alone, where did you keep your passport and electronics while at the hospital?

My understanding is that you check out of the hotel and then back in after your hospital stay. I also read that Mi Doctor has safes in the rooms for valuables. But please ask your coordinator and confirm!

I just had my sleeve done the 23rd of feb and u actually checkout and take all ur items to the hospital with u bt they do have a safe for Ur items if u feel unsafe or just want to make sure they don't get taken. I didnt use it bt they offered it to me after Ur two day stay at the hospital then u return for two more days at the hotel . I was so happy to be at the hotel after my two day stay the hospital beds isn't to comfy bt the hotel beds are awesome :)

I kept the passport, wallet and electronics in the safe. They reset the safe in front of you and turn their backs as you enter your own combination. The safe needs 4 numbers and 1 letter, i.e. 1234A

I also bought 2 suitcase combination locks at target that I kept on my bag at all times.

      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.
