Where did your companion stay?



Recommended Posts

My mom and I are headed down on July 1st for my surgery! I'm super excited that my mom is able to accompany me, however we can only stand to be around eachother for so long if you know what I mean. I was Hoping she would be able to stay at the hotel at night instead of in the hospital with me. Did anyone else have their companion stay at the hotel? Is there anything for them to do throughout the day aside from staring at you after surgery? Lol!

I'm having my surgery on July 1st at MiDoctor with dr Ortiz. Is anyone else scheduled to be down and around there at that time?

My surgery is 7/1 with Dr. A. Ortiz @ OCC. I will be staying at the Marriott & my husband is going with me.

Are you staying at the Marriott?

I was at Mi hospital back in February, my friend did stay at the hospital with me. If not she had to pay for the 2 extra nights at the hotel. I'm not sure what the price was, but we didn't even consider it, I'm thankful too cause I was sick most of the first night and she helped me out a lot. She hung out down in the cafe a lot on her computer and making friends with other companions and the couple that ran the restaurant. Our coordinator advised her not to venture off by herself around the hotel. She said she would get her transportation though if needing to go anywhere. (Ready 4 a change). If you can stand each other try I for one night in the hospital and if its that bad maybe go back to the hotel then. Atleast she will only have to pay for 1 night instead of the 2. Good luck!

I intend to have my husband stay at the hotel the night of surgery and the nights thereafter. If I have a bad 1st night - he'll just feel helpless, also before the surgery he's going to have to put up with me quitting smoking 6 wks before the surgery, don't want to give him a chance to smother me with a pillow

Hahaha I agree with this! I'm more of a private person and as much as I love my mom, when I'm recovering right after surgery...she's just gonna be feeling helpless..

My wife is going to stay at the Marriott while I am in the hospital. They are charging a rate of $68 per night for those 2 nights.

My hubby stayed with me at florence. I wanted him to see me go thru this. It was very helpful to have him there. He helped me up, kept me covered up, just watched over me. I also felt better having another set of eyes.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
