Anyone use Dr Borland in New Iberia, Louisiana recently? Would like to hear results, etc. Heard great things about him but latest posts have been back in October last year.

Does Dr. Borland make you wear a catheter?

No

How long were y'all at the surgery center? How did you feel after? How long at the hotel? Anyone that wants to share... I am just trying to be ready. Will have surgery at the end of June if all clear by my Dr.

I had a tough time before surgery because I was really dehydrated so my recovery was 8hrs long from them given me fluids. So make sure you drink lots the day before!!! Hotel was 3 days well 4 total counting the day before because we live 2hrs away. I stayed at the Candlewood. They give a surgery discount and have a recliner in each room which is where I slept. Think goodness for that because I try to lay in the bed but the gas pains were too intense and I couldn't. I felt so good after surgery that the next day I was out shoe shopping lol.

I just changed my hotel to Candlewood. Thank you, I didn't even think about the sleeping on a bed issue. Now I will have a recliner!

I am scheduled with him June 27th. Please keep us updated on how it goes! I am so curious about the experience with him.

I defiantly will. Super excited but also getting a bit nervous. He doesn't require any kind of strict pre op diet but after reading so many people talking about their pre op diets I think I am going to go on a liquid diet starting tues (a week before my surgery)

I decided the same thing last night! So many other Dr. want you to shrink your liver for a safer surgery. I feel like we are in good hands, but it won't hurt to make it as easy as possible.
