Where did your companion stay?



Recommended Posts

My mom and I are headed down on July 1st for my surgery! I'm super excited that my mom is able to accompany me, however we can only stand to be around eachother for so long if you know what I mean. I was Hoping she would be able to stay at the hotel at night instead of in the hospital with me. Did anyone else have their companion stay at the hotel? Is there anything for them to do throughout the day aside from staring at you after surgery? Lol!

I'm having my surgery on July 1st at MiDoctor with dr Ortiz. Is anyone else scheduled to be down and around there at that time?

My surgery is 7/1 with Dr. A. Ortiz @ OCC. I will be staying at the Marriott & my husband is going with me.

Are you staying at the Marriott?

I was at Mi hospital back in February, my friend did stay at the hospital with me. If not she had to pay for the 2 extra nights at the hotel. I'm not sure what the price was, but we didn't even consider it, I'm thankful too cause I was sick most of the first night and she helped me out a lot. She hung out down in the cafe a lot on her computer and making friends with other companions and the couple that ran the restaurant. Our coordinator advised her not to venture off by herself around the hotel. She said she would get her transportation though if needing to go anywhere. (Ready 4 a change). If you can stand each other try I for one night in the hospital and if its that bad maybe go back to the hotel then. Atleast she will only have to pay for 1 night instead of the 2. Good luck!

I intend to have my husband stay at the hotel the night of surgery and the nights thereafter. If I have a bad 1st night - he'll just feel helpless, also before the surgery he's going to have to put up with me quitting smoking 6 wks before the surgery, don't want to give him a chance to smother me with a pillow

Hahaha I agree with this! I'm more of a private person and as much as I love my mom, when I'm recovering right after surgery...she's just gonna be feeling helpless..

My wife is going to stay at the Marriott while I am in the hospital. They are charging a rate of $68 per night for those 2 nights.

My hubby stayed with me at florence. I wanted him to see me go thru this. It was very helpful to have him there. He helped me up, kept me covered up, just watched over me. I also felt better having another set of eyes.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
