    MY experience

    please read everyones experience. this was just one person. Most of us have no issues. I was sleeved on the 8th had only one issue with one day nurse. This is her experience. I believe her and you cant take away how someone feels. I really believe most of us on here tell our story and are truthful. You will read 90 percent all good stuff. There was construction when I was there not on my floor but I thought everu room had a heater. Mine did with a remote.

    Sorry you had such a bad experience. Did I meet you? Were you in the lobby with your Mom waiting to go to the airport while I was there for a post op visit?

    I wonder if its because its liquid and passes through the stomach quickly? I was kind of worried yesterday that wasnt normal. I did also read solid or mushy food will be different because the stomach holds it longer. I kid you not I drank 15 oz in about 10 min

    LA Baby!

    Best place to go in SD for site seeing to get an amazing view would be crown point. Check it out! Its so pretty. Best beach would be mission beach. Best thing to at night is go downtown to the Gas Lamp district. Its packed with people walking around, shops, resturants, so much fun. Plus all of that is FREE haha

    Jay1234's thread

    Haha I was there on the 8th the day you left to to hotel. I most likely saw you. Omg the part about the gas was so funny I just laughed so hard I think I popped a stitch lol. So so true! I agree with everything you said And think I had close to the same experience (minus the chest hair problem)
