Florence Hospital/ Dr. Garcia June 14th

Anyone else going to be at Florence/ the TJ Marriott between the 13th and the 18th? I'm getting sleeved with Dr. Garcia on the morning of the 14th and am going without a "support person", so it would be great to know someone else who will be there.

@Hazel Eyes, I'm so glad you will be there too! I come down on the night of the 12th and will be there till the 18th. I can't wait to meet you as your mom! @Olivia23, I'll be able to see you before your surgery, which is awesome :) I'll make sure to take notes so I can tell you exactly what to expect!

Hope your pre-op diets are going well, ladies! Safe travels to you down to TJ this week!! Let us know how it goes. <3

Oh my goodness! Irene and Dr. Luna just came by and WOW, the other ladies seriously weren't kidding when they said he was attractive.... Of course here I am in my leggings and oversized sweatshirt! :)

 

What a pretty, pretty man!

Light lady so you are at the hotel. We don't get released until tomorrow morning. Hope to see you.

I agree and he looks better in person. :-)

Does Dr. Garcia use stitches to close the holes in your stomach? If so, are they dissovable stitches or do I have to get a surgeon back home to remove them?

Olivia23, he uses staples and Dr. Luna will come to the hotel to remove them before you leave!

 

Everything went really well and I feel great! Can't wait to go home though, I'm a little homesick... being here by myself has been a little lonely, but all of the nurses and Drs have been so kind and attentive.

 

Let me know if you have any more questions at all! I would be happy to answer them :)

 

So glad I did this for myself! Best decision ever.

Oh no. I'm leaving a day early so I hope that won't be a problem with them taking out the staples.
