Good luck to all of you. I was sleeved with Dr. Ortiz 2/26 & everything went smoothly. Care was excellent & staff at Marriott were wonderful too, 4 of us who had same surgery same day are staying in touch with each other. From Arizona, Oklahoma, Iowa & Toronto Canada. A great place to go

Hi All,

 

I'm leaving on a jet plane....tomorrow morning and will be at Marriott by late afternoon.

 

Was it this forum group where someone kindly posted a list of medical questions/phrases in Spanish?

 

If so could someone tell me what page it was one?

 

Thanks and I will update as I can.

Hi all,

Back at hotel today ... Ended up having surgery yesterday instead of 14th as planned due to a few emergency 's that took up OR.

 

Funny thing is I ended up being the only surgery yesterday, as the other patient didn't lose the appropriate amount of weight, so they cancelled her.

 

Talk about 5 star service. ..... Made me feel like a million bucks all the attention on me

 

The IV was the worst part as I have very crappy veins.... The rest has been awesome!

 

No pain, nausea, and I am walkin around well.

Just a terribly dry and sore throat from intubation.

 

Didn't see Ortiz once.... But doc Martinez was absolutely a GEM ! Gave me such confidence in their knowledge and experience!

 

Also .... Best new yet I FEEL NO HUNGER!

 

Hope you managing ok Socalmom...

Congratulations! Glad you're feeling so good. To be honest, I liked Dr. Martinez better than Ortiz and I actually just talked to Dr. Martinez about 3 weeks ago.
