Surgery Scheduled!

amberganej · April 27, 2007

I had my phone consult today and have my surgery scheduled today for June 14th with Dr. Mumford @ TWLC! :clap2: I am very excited and yet I am really kinda scared at the same time. :omg:

I was just wondering if anyone else went to Mississauga and if so where did you stay? :notagree I was thinking the Waterside Inn but I was just wondering what it was like? Or if their is anything other place I should consider? Thank you

Amber

Congrats Amber! The time will fly by. I'm going to Dr. Cobourn on May 9 for my surgery. I'm staying at Heritage House because I'm going alone.

I know there are others on this site who have stayed at the Novotel and the Holiday Inn. These two hotels plus the Waterside on the ones recommended by the clinic. Hopefully some others will drop by and give you their opinion on the hotels but I've never seen anything negative said about them. The Waterside looks very nice and I think it is the most expensive of the three. Maybe you can get a good package deal by booking ahead online. Good luck!

I stayed at the Novotel when I was banded in February. I thought the hotel was pretty nice. It was clean, and the staff were good as well. I have no complaints which is unusual for a hotel with me. I was able to book a couple of thier package deals that ended up to be about $100 per night.

I also liked that it was near the Square One mall (4-5 minute walk), so my DW could run out to get me stuff if I needed it. It also helped to pass the time before my surgery as my timeline did not allow us to see anything else when we were out there.

I looked into the Waterside as well, but is was a pretty high end boutique style hotel that cost a ton of money.

I dont know anything about the other one that the clinic reccomends, but I would stay at the Novotel again.

Hi there,

I will be having my band May 30th and I booked to stay at the Novotel. I got the best deal there and as Andrew has said it is so close to the Square one mall that I will be able to take advantage of walking of any of the gas pain and shopping too!! My sister in-law is also staying with me part of the time and it was no extra charge.

I did like the thought of the Waterside but after already spending so much money on flights and the surgery I wanted something not so high priced because I won't be eating there anyway!! lol I am also there from monday till saturday so that is 5 nights.

Best wishes! where ever you decide to stay!

I was banded By Dr. Cobourn a year ago at the Surgical Weight Loss Centre and it is a fantastic place! I have also met patients (some who are now friends) who have been banded by Dr. Mumford who is Dr. Cobourn's partner. I have only heard wonderful things about him too and when one of my friend's was in recovery Dr. Mumford phoned me to give me her update he was easy to talk to. I highly recommend becoming a member on the Surgical Weight Loss Centre's messageboard and chatroom at www.obesitysurgery.ca which is for pre-op and post-op patients of Dr. Cobourn and Mumford.

Oh yes I know bandsters who have stayed at all 3 of those hotels and liked them and I have visited 2 patients in their hotel rooms at the Holiday Inn and it seemed older but fine also.

Best Wishes,

Donna
