Caryn68 24 Posted January 19, 2017 Slippers, comfy for the hospital....I wore a light "house coat" that zipped up the front...legging or soft pants for the hotel days and a couple of shirts. Toiletries that you might want ie toothbrush. Something for entertainment. Dry mouth spray was a G-d send. Download Google Translate for while you are there if you don't speak Spanish. Night nurses aren't fluent but will get someone who is if they can't communicate. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YMof4 11 Posted January 19, 2017 Got almost everything on the list except the dry mouth spray, I never thought of that! Thanks for the advice. I started my pre-op diet today and so far, so good! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
almost40ish 58 Posted January 27, 2017 Has anyone gone to/ plan to go to Dr Vazquez, his partner? I picked him to save a few bucks but I can't find any reviews on him directly & I'm getting a little nervous. Should I switch to Garcia?
