This is the thing-

Assuming my credit union adds the cash to my credit line, I will be having my surgery 1/8. I'm sooo excited. The easiest thing would be to go alone because my DH and I have a 7 month old baby and we don't want to leave our son with family for that long. Would it be feasible or practical for them to come with me and stay at the hotel at night and just visit me during the day?

I also could bring my 14 yr old daughter with me (she'd probably love it)

Or.. I can go alone.

For those of you that have been there, which would be the best thing to do?? I know alot of it is personal preference but yall know way more than I do. What do yall think?

Anyone here that will be having the surgery then as well??

I'm being sleeved by Dr. Aceves on May 11th. I am very excited. I was going to go alone at first, but now my husband will be with me. At first, I really wanted to go alone since I will worry too much about his boredom , etc.

A question: is the hospital room sufficient for my husband to camp out or should he just stay at the hotel? Thanks. Deborah

The couch in the private hospital rooms are very comfortable. Though their is only the cafe to eat from. The beds at the hotel bring a whole new meaning to "hard as a rock". Nothing is really nearby for dinning. Though the resturants at the hotel are very tasty for your last meal.

I have posted a thread where it lists all of dr. aceves credentials for anyone doing their research.

There is a Dairy Queen just down the road from the hotel and I think a KFC maybe, I did not eat at either one, we did not find them until after supper. There is a huge cantina/bar/restaurant within walking distance of the hospital, glad Mom did not discover that before leaving! Mom had the guacamole from the cafeteria, said it was great. She said the chicken salad was not anywhere close to what we are used to.

By the way, I am so glad my Mom came with me. Although everyone there is very nice and the nurses came right away when called, it was nice to have her there to help me and to share in the experience.

Angie,

How are you doing? Did you start full liquids today?
