Well I am trying to upload a pic. But don't know how? Help?

Praying for you to have an easy surgery and speedy recovery.

I have just returned to the hotel after two nights at Mi Doctor. Dr. Lopez performed my surgery and the entire staff at Mi Doctor is pleasant, helpful and willing to answer any questions.

When I first awoke from surgery, I wasn't prepared for the way I felt. I won't lie, it was painful. But, they do give you meds as soon as you ask for them, so no worries.

Good luck!

Kristen, what exactly was hurting? Your belly? Or pain from the gas?

Are you staying at the Marriott? I may have just seen you in the restaurant...

Here we are, waiting on our ride

And having our chicken broth at hotel. Yummy! (Sarcasm noted)

Good luck everyone and speedy recoveries to y'all. Keep us posted

Thanks. We need it. But my poor brother in law needs the most. He is accompanying all of us!

There was a lot of pressure from the gas, but my belly felt like it had gone ten rounds is prize fight and I was just being let in on that little secret. :-/

Like I said, they are fabulous about keeping up with meds and being a helpful a possible.

What I would like now is to have his damn drain out!

Kristen, are you at the Marriott? Are you from Nola? My brother in law said he spoke to a couple yesterday and the husband had on an LSU shirt. Just wondering if that was you?

I am at the Marriott, but I traveled alone. I'm from Texas. :-)

How did your surgery go???? I said a prayer for you. I have my surgery on the 22nd of May 12 more days. Just checking on ya

My Dr. is Lopez too so,just wanting to know how your experience was.

Good luck! Experience was ok. I had researched it as much as my sis did so i did not know what to expect. Dr. Lopez was supposed to our surgery, however, we both feel like his associate, dr. Ortiz did it. Our names on the board in the hall said dr. Ortiz, and he did all the follow ups. Dr. Lopez only came in right before surgery and introduced himself. She and I both had a hiatal hernia, so, that had a little added discomfort. I had very bad nausea but she didn't! She did wonderful! I kept asking for something for it and they kept giving me something for acid??? Language barrier??? But I am home, doing well, and so far, no regrets!

Again, good luck.

See that's what I worry about with the language barrier. What if something was more serious than that going on? They might not be able to understand. Also I would be a little peeved that Dr. Lopez didn't do the surgery and they didn't bother to tell you someone different was doing it.
