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.

      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.
