Doctors coming to the hotel



Recommended Posts

Curious if anyone has had follow up care at the hotel?

I got to the hotel yesterday and have been suffering so severely with a Migraine that I called my coordinator at 4am requesting a doctor. I was told that the doctor would not come to me that I needed to go to him. I said no as I am in so much pain the thought of driving or noise was unbearable.

Today my coordinator called to check on me and again I told her how much pain I was in and she said that to see a doctor I needed to go in. Sunlight and noise and smells and waiting. Ya thats really appealing.

Anyways im shocked as before I booked I was told I would receive amazing care in and out of hospital. This has not been the case.

Am I wrong in thinking they should come to me?

My experience in Mexico, was that the doctor would come to the hotel in the evening or at at night after he was done doing surgery to remove peoples drains. i don't think think that they are being unreasonable when asking you to go to the Dr. But if your in that much pain, maybe you should be in the hospital anyway. Hope you fell better soon.

I was at the hotel for 2 days. A Doctor came each day to check my incisions and my over all well being. I didn't have a drain that needed removing.

I'm sorry that you are experiencing this. I regularly have Migraines and I know how difficult they can be.

I hope you feel better soon.

I had a Migraine after surgery, which is not surprising, I get them quite a bit - but come to find out, headache was a side effect of the pain medication they were giving me, so we changed it and I took a Maxalt, the one that dissolves under your tongue. If you past the point of no return, you need to go into the ER, just like you would do here and they need to give you a shot for pain and something for nausea. Ask about headache being a side effect of the pain meds you are taking. You may need something different.

      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! 😞
