I tried tagging my surgeon Dr Pablo Fok Russell. He's not in the list.
Im currently waiting to be wheeled to surgery.
I'm so far extremely impressed. I lost a lot more weight then expected on my pre-op diet. I was allowed salad with a Protein choice, 13 almonds and Protein Shakes.
Everyone is very friendly. I had an EKG, bloodwork & xray done as soon as I arrived. The bloodwork was back in an hour! I met everyone. I like everyone.
Two women on my flight rode with me here. They are getting some sort of plastic surgery. One already had a facelift already. Looked good too! I liked riding with people who were familiar. The driver was really informative.
Now I'm waiting to be wheeled back!

All is well. Very attentive. Everyone works as a team. The Dr has came to see me a few times. I have no complaints at all.

Update

Im so impressed with the care I received. I have no negative comments at all.
I have been walking. I have a headache that I'm uncertain if it's related , i get them often. No other discomfort.
Every employee is amazing. I would forget to walk & I was gently reminded.
I am very happy with my decision.
The building is beautiful. I don't have pictures because I took a video.

I took a few pictures . Only one of my room. I was taking videos. I didn't think of pictures until after I left.

They are of my hotel. Absolutely gorgeous. Room service has my menu.
Everything's set up for me. I have a picture of my driver & his car & license number for the morning ride to the airport.

      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.
