I am going to be staying at the Marriott. Right now having mixed feelings about this procedure. I'm excited about the health benefits but honestly Wondering how my energy is going to be and what if complications arise. But regardless I'm going through with it.

Hi, I've met quite a few people who have had the sleeve here and are accompanying a friend r spouse for their surgery. By far the majority of patients I have met are nurses, followed by other health care professionals. I feel very good about my decision and also visited the hospital to see friends who were sleeved yesterday. They look great and all are glad they had it done. Good luck to you and I will visit u in TJ !

Hey there. Literally just landed back in Canada. You stay your first night before your operation and then 2 nights in hospital and then the next two nights in hotel again so 3 nights in a hotel total. Can't say enough good about A Lighter Me. Had an absolutely wonderful experience with Dr. Ortiz, nurses, Janese my patient coordinator, Raul,Eduardo and Abraham the boys who are there for your every need. Make you feel so safe and comfortable!

I am going through A Lighter Me and if you have the sleeve you stay in the hospital 2 nights and the hotel 2 nights. If you do the RNY you are in the hospital 3 nights, and the hotel 1 night.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
