I am planning on having surgery with Dr. Kelly in May and just wondered how many days I should plan? I am hoping to arrive in San Diego on a Thursday around 12:40 p.m.. Surgery probably on Friday and two nights in the hospital. How many nights at the hotel is enough?

Normally they book you for two nights at the Lucerna I have all the info on Kelly if you haven't emailed them yet. I was going to use him but decided on Garcia. If you give me your email I can forward it to you.

I am Using dr. Garcia and will be there for six days. Arrive on the May 21 and will get my pre op testing then. Then have surgery on the 22nd and stay in the hospital through the 24th. Then back to the hotel until the 26th and then home!!!

Dr Kelly will have you in the hospital for 2 nights, then in the hotel for 2 nights & I think that is plenty. Some people I have heard even do just 1 night at the hotel. So you should be fine with 2 nights at the hotel!

Good luck, I am going with Dr Kelly on May 10th... maybe we will be sleeve buddies?!

I arrived on wed afternoon stayed at the hopital that night had surgery next afternoon. Was in the hospital for two nights after surgery and hotel two nights. There was a lady that was there when i was she went home a day early. But i think my amount of time was fine. . . Also i think you will love the hotel. If you need gatourade or popsicales they is a store right acroos the street. I also bought my kids a bunch of spanish candy back in place of souvaniers. They loved the idea but was not many of them they liked.

I think its usually 5 nights and 6 days. I arrived on a Thursday late afternoon, stayed at the hospital that night, surgery the next morning (Friday) hospital Fri/Sat night. Lucerna Sun/'on night. Back home on Tues. I'm glad to have had the extra day because I had a looooooong flight and it pretty much sucked,lol.

My group is arriving late morning, June 10. Leaving late afternoon on June 15. If you get there early in the morning of your surgery, you stay 2 nights in the hospital, and two nights in the hotel. Minimum I'd say 4 days, but to be safe, id go for five, and buy the insurance on your flight incase you can leave early, or need to stay! Congrats on an excellent choice in surgeons! If you dont have it the email is wls-clinic@hotmail.com
