where To stay in Fort Lauder dale

I am having wls on 12-13 and I was told by Debra my doctors wife and nurse that I need to stay in fort lauderdale for 1 week after I get out of the hospital because I live more than 2 hours away it's about 3 1/2 hours but I can't afford to rent a room. has any one else been in this sistiation if so what did you do? I really want to have my wls on it's schecualed date.

SHIRLEY, I SUGGEST THAT YOU GO TO PRICELINE.COM AND TRY TO GET A ROOM IN THE GENERAL AREA OF DR. COX OFFICE AND HOSPITAL. I WILL BE DOING THE SAME THING WHEN I GET MY SURGERY DATE. I BELIEVE THAT THEIR LOCATION IS IN WEST FT. LAUDERDALE. ONE GOOD THING ABOUT PRICELINE.COM YOU CAN SET YOUR OWN PRICE. I HOPE THAT WILL WORK FOR YOU. HAVE A BLESSED DAY. RUTH B.

Boy, if I lived in So Florida, I think I would start a post-op WLS Bed & Breakfast for all the patients who travel there for surgery. Good luck finding a place to stay that you can afford. Amy

Fairfield Inn 5757 N Federal Highway 954-491-2500 Call and tell them you'll be there for WLS at the hospital and they'll give you a big discount. They even put a fridge in my room for free!!! It's close to Dr. Cox & the hospitals. Good Luck, Erika L

THANKS ERICA, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. I WILL CHECK IN TO IT AS WELL. HAPPY THANKSGIVNG AND THANK GOD FOR BLESSING AMERICA. HAVE A BLESSED DAY.. RUTH B.
