Anyone else getting sleeved at Florence/Oasis Hospital tomorrow - Fri, Apr 19?

[*Charla* 5]

My name is Charla and I am having surgery tomorrow and was just hoping for company! My surgeon is Dr. Illan, and Omar is my coordinator (he has been great!). After two days at florence, I am booked into the Lucerna Hotel. I'm so excited that I doubt I'll get much sleep tonight, but no matter, I have to be to the airport by 5 AM. I'm so ready to begin this journey! I also want to say thank you to everyone on this board. This community is amazing and your willingness to share has answered every question I could think of and more!

Hi, Charla, we made it! I'm sitting at the Marriott! Here we go, our surgery day has arrived. I am so thankful that I stayed on the preop diet. I'm going to drink Water as much as I can, and head to bed. Keep me posted, Jill

PS The driving here is crazy!

Sweet dreams, Jill. Think of how much more we will enjoy this summer with some weight off! We'll check in again tomorrow.

Hi Charla,

You'll be thrilled with Dr. Illan...he's amazing!! And you are in caring, fantastic hands with Omar. Honestly, I couldn't have asked for better care. You'll see lots of other patients at florence, once you get there. My sleeve buddy (waving at Kursti), who was also sleeved by Dr. Illan, was very social while we were at the hospital and met a lot of people. You'll pass people as you are walking in the hallways and everyone is very friendly.

Good luck to you!
