I am 3 days post op with dr Kelly and feel wonderful. The way he does the sleeve you don't need a drain because you don't leak. He staples, sews, and then tapes the stomach closed.

^{Did you stay in a hotel the night before? Is that included in your fee?}

Night before is hospital, then 2 nights more hospital...then 2 nights beautiful hotel and the coordinator treats you like a friend and you can go to beach, out to eat, Mexican pharmacy with their 32 percent discount, shopping, casino, whatever you want that he has time for. Yesterday I treated my sis and me to leg wax. $36 for full leg, which I thought was pretty good.

We even went out to eat with the doctor.

Yes. Hotel is included. It's the Lucerna in Tijuana. Like a vacation.

What about the pharmacy? Did you have to buy meds? Thank you for any info!

No, I didn't have to buy any meds related to the surgery; that's all provided. I bought thyroid medicine, viagra, things you can't get here without prescription.

Oh yeah duh. Great idea!
