I know a several folks have had surgery this week (or very recently) with Dr. Ariel Ortiz. Just checking in to see how it's gone or going.

I am at the hotel and chicken broth has been ordered. BTW, you can't buy water at the San Diego hotel near the baggage area. I was thirsty on my drive, wishing I had bought another bottle at LAX.

Glad you had a safe trip. Congratulations on your up coming surgery. Keep us posted.

 

Sometimes they change... I wasn't aware that they don't want you discussing the price.

 

Shhhhhhhh. It's super top secret!

Good luck and a safe surgery.

Hoping everything is going well Mary

Good luck with your surgery, your new life is just beginning.

OK I have a dental check (no one told me about that) to make sure I could chew my food sufficiently. Blood has been drawn and I am waiting for the NUT, oh and paperwork is complete. I am going to get my teeth cleaned and my chip fixed while I am here. I never find time for the dentist at home.

The new me is starting!

this is the first I've heard of the dental check! How bizarre. I'm 100% covered for dental, but always have to cancel due to travel. Hmmmm. something to think about.

Same here it has been 4 years since I saw the Dentist CPA took advantage of what scares me the most:dental work, also getting blood drawn not a fan e fan

 

But, they did well

Question!! I have never been on a airplane. So do you have to pay for 2 seats for heavy people??

I called american airlines cuz me and my sister are getting sleeved and they said that if you can sit in ur seat and br able to put the arm rest down you shouldnt have a problem and that the seatbelt is like 47 in. but most likely she will have to use the seatbelt extender which btw ask for when u are walking in to the plane and the attendant will get for you. But if u cant fit then unless you are with someone else that doesnt mind u are tight in the seat then u need to purchase an extra seat. They also said that if you purchase it and there are extra seats then they will refund the ticket. But this is just american, i had to call m2 different airlines to get info due to me, my mom, and my sister whos much bigger then i going. So good luck to u all!!!!!

Thanks for the info

So more updates. I was really

Lay impressed with how time the nurse took finding the vein for the lV. My hands were super cold so she made hot water with a rubber glove did some other tricks, and my vein appeared.

 

So far no nausea, a little gas pain - nothing bad, was a bit foggy on my initial walks but all is really good.

 

Excellent care by all

 

Mary

Glad things are going well.
