Had my sleeve at MI in May. My hubby slept uncomfortably for 2 nights on a recliner chair. I may have "assumed" he would have a bed, but he didn't. The beds are the Marriott were wonderful. I didn't pay an extra $200 for anything.

I was sleeved at MI Doctor on June 17th. My room had 2 beds and my husband slept in the other bed for 2 nights. Spent 2 nights at the Marriott (1 pre-op and 2 post-op). It was included in my package.

Hey Everyone, When I talked to Cindy, my coordinator with MBC she said they would find a place for my husband but if he wanted to stay at the Marriott he could for an add'l $100. per night. We can't really afford the add'l cost & was curious if Mi Doctor would accommodate him with a bed in the same room or a pullout of some sort or like previously mentioned -a reclining chair? Looking 4 other peoples experiences. Thanks 4 the responses so far everyone. Karen

Same as mrspetethecat. There was an extra bed in my room at mi doctor. I didn't have a guest though. The hotel would have included a guest for no cost. I used alighterme.

When I was walking the halls of mi doctor, I looked in to every room on the floor. All but one had an extra bed. The one without an extra bed had a reclining chair. the one with the recliner actually looked awesome, it was a bigger room and the chair was all leather and Cush looking.

That must've been my room but he wasn't comfortable in that chair :)

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
