Why are they giving a choice now? Has anyone asked?

I didn't get an explanation. What did you decide?

GaMom and I were upgrading by Dr. Illan due to MiDoctor being overcrowded. It was great. Our rooms were huge with a twin bed inside, plus lazy-boy style chair. Everything was extremely clean. They give you slippers, extra blankets and pillows. There is a closet, flat screen t.v. with remote. I think there were about 3 channels that were English.

I checked out the link for the florence Oasis Hospital. It seems nice. My only concern is valuables. I read that MiDoctor has safes in each room, but florence says they only have a single safe. They recommend leaving valuables at home. That would be easy, if I wasn't traveling out if the country alone. It also says that if you are moved to surgery or a care unit that your belongings will not be left in the room.

Does anyone know any different?

I would love to know the answer to that as well. However, I plan to only bring what I absolutely need. I'm bringing minimal cash, and not wearing jewelry. I'm leaving my electronics at home.

I would ask your coordinator. My best friend is traveling with me, so I'm not really concerned about belongings. I believe GAMom traveled alone, so maybe she will weigh in on what she did with her important stuff while in surgery?

I, too, am having surgery next week (ack!!) with Dr. Illan and got moved from Mi Doctor to Florence Hospital. He usually offers the option between Mi Doctor and Florence Hospital for a fairly small difference in price, with Mi Doctor being the lesser expensive option. I've heard good reviews about both, so it was not really a big deal to me. I think Florence is aesthetically a little older looking, but functionally, both seem to be good facilities.

Dr Garcia is my surgeon. I got the notice about the option for a change from Meli Yesterday. I switched to Florence Hospital from Mi Doctor. Surgery 3/25.

I switched Florence Hospital for my March 28th surgery. It looks like a much better facility than MiDoctor. But who knows?!

I just spent 2 nights at the Oasis. There isn't a safe in your room but there is a closet where you can keep your belongings. I had a laptop, cell phone and money stowed away. I was not at all concerned. It is such a quiet hospital and the external doors are locked for patient security. I asked the doctor if I could secure my things somewhere and he said they have never had an incident with theft but I could put my stuff in there. I just trusted him and was fine. Came back to a room just as I had left it.

Such an amazing staff. Quiet for good resting. Pleasant and well recommended.

Bring your own pillow!! The pillows are not cozy. I also brought my own sheets and a blanket. Also a travel bottle of fabreze and dryer sheets. Made for a Yummy, smell good recovery.

These are some o the opinions. For those of you wondering' date=' those of us who booked surgery with Dr. Garcia were just notified that we could chose either Mi hospital or Oasis Hospital.

I'm switching to Oasis for March 29.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
