Oh a friend and I got the surgery so as soon as we checked it the hotel we both each were given our own password to the wifi. Wifi was great but the front desk clerks could b more friendly.

The info says that they will only give you wifi for one device, but just ask for another password. They gave me one for each of my devices (twice — before surgery and post-op — ended up having four passwords while I was there). I kept my phone in airplane mode the whole time I was there. I used viber for all of my communication.

Hello jenjo it was great. No problems at all. doctor Ortiz and staff at OCC are on the ball. The doctors fee included the ride from the air port ,hotel plus 3soup x day 3waters bottles which will for 3 days:-) , all blood work, saw the nutritionist, hotel drive from hotel to the clinic.

Oh and if you take a friend to get it also they give you a $ 500 discount each.

I had a doctor around me all the time even the night stay i had dr.Victoria checking up me next day i was discharge but before i left i got me a chemical peel lol from Marcos and let me tell you. It was great! My face is looking and feeling very nice. new skin. And not to costly $130

Marcos always was the one who took our drains out on friday before we left back home. He was so sweet. He kept thinking about my PMDD ( other health issues i have) without me saying anything.

I can go on and on about others things so if u want know anything else just ask me.

Good luck on your big day. Everything will b ok.

Ready4Achange, dr. garcia, Florence Hospital. everything was great. the staff takes care of everything you need, every step of the way. at florence the doctors do not come in until 1pm and they are in surgery most of the day. I saw dr. garcia 2x and another bedside dr 2x. that's it. the nurses are the ones that will come by every so often and take your vitals and help you with the little things. The first few days are rough, gas, soreness, tightness in the stomach, but that goes away 100x more with each passing day. I never feel hungry, but get really dry and dehydrated so it's important to be drinking Water, gatorade, and/or apple juice all day everyday. on day 5 i'm probably feeling about 90%, my wounds are sore and my stomach is still a little bloated, but i will be ready for work tomorrow no problem.

Yes, lots of people to without passport. My husbands coworker just went over and came back with nothing but his drivers license. I guess it depends on who's working the border at the time. Some guards are stricter than others.

OCC was phenomenal! Surgery July 23rd at 229 pounds. Current weight 185. I feel amazing! Yes, there is internet, but it was hit or miss while I was there. Try to get a room with a balcony. Loved it! God bless and good luck.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
