Yes, you do. The house is quite small and they really pack them in at times. You will also share a recovery room at the clinic too.

Why are you so determined to NOT share a room? Frankly you really won't care and will probably feel like crap and just want to sleep.

We didn't want to share a room... and there was a risk my hubby would have to sleep on a couch. We stayed at the Hotel Ticuan. It's not ideal choice but if you really want your privacy, ask to stay there instead. It's $68 a night :)

Check out my blog for details on our journey :)

I totally understand. Yeah, it's no big deal, but considering what you're going through -- if the option for privacy at a hotel nearby is available, why not? This whole journey is about taking care of your needs! Good luck.

I also stayed at the ticuan, it was very nice! One secret is to ask the restaurant downstairs for JUST broth, they have THE BEST broth i ever tasted in my life! I think it cost me 4 bucks for a huge bowl so be ready to bring some back to your room.

The drivers kinda forgot about me during some trips so you have to remind them your there lol! overall i wouldnt have done it any other way!!

Ok great! Hotel Ticuan it is! I viewed pics online and it looked very nice and clean. Did you have to book your room ahead of time??

Yes, that was the part that sucked. The constant going back and forth to the clinic was a PITA and it was painful bouncing along the streets.

We booked it ahead of time but you don't HAVE to. One person in our group asked to go to the hotel the day we got there when he found out it was an option. If you do pre-book, make sure you tell the coordinator of the arrangements.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
