VSG - Dr. Rodriguez 10/27?
Hi Everyone....Hoo Ray, I finally scheduled for Dr. Rod in Juarez for Tuesday 10/27 for the "Sleeve", and the start of the new chapter of my life . Is anyone else going around that time? I am excited and also a small scared too. Hard to believe! Everyone write and give me some tips on how I will be feeling etc and what to take. This website has been a blessing - so much information that you could never get elsewhere. Blessing to all of you! Patt
cyndy congrats... dr rod did my rny last year. you will love him and his staff ! my niece just had the sleeve last month and I went with her and stayed in the hospital with her ... make sure your companion brings a few books to read or they will get bored. lap tops are fine too . not the best selectin on tv. bring small er bills. hard to break big ones. embassy can do it for you and it is close to the hospital..pesos were easier to use. I can still remembe that a bottle of water is 8 pesos in the hospital. lol now for you... bring chapstick. and a pillow . I was fine with the hospital pillows but my niece had to have her pillow from home. bring a robe and slippers for walking the halls. don't want to moon anyone ! don't bring alot of clothes. just one outfit for the trip home. you will live in hospital gown. I didn't want to get anything on my gown so i lived in the hospital gown. my niece wanted an old gown of her own that was comfy ( that we threw away in the room before we left thanks to a drain that leaked and got on everything yuck !) if you are a cold natured person maybe bring sweats or pajamas too. for your trip home order a wheelchair from your airline before you go. use it at the airport.. you will be so glad you did. sip sip sip water with crystal light ( or plain) all day. bullion cubes mixed with warm tap water work well too. enjoy your new life.
Isabel....Thank you so much for your helpful words on Dr. Rod. and Juarez. I am excited and scared at the same time, but mostly looking forward to my new life changes. I have started on the low-carb liquid diet today getting ready for next Tuesday. Thanks for the tips for me and hubby. I will call the hospital to see if they take Debit cards? Then we would not have to do the peso thing. I got a child's sippy cup to take with me to start practicing. Thank you again. Patt
Hi again Isabel....What day of the month did your niece have her surgery done and how much weight has she lost already.
How does a person get a wheelchair at the El Paso airport?
We are traveling on US Airlines and they state that their is not "curbside" wheelchair pick-up, so how do you going about getting one at El Paso, or maybe it is so small that we do not need one.Where do you get pesos from. Can you get them in El Paso? I didn't want hubby dealing with money exchange, he's not so good with that. Anyway, thanks again for helping by writing with info. Thanks, Patt
she had surgery aug. 31st. we flew home on the 3rd. of sept. she has lost 42 lbs so far ! around a pound a day ! the el paso airport is small. you can walk up to check in counter and request a wheelchair there. bring dollars and pesos with you to hospital . lots of small bills on the dollars. ( will need for tipping driver etc.. ) the embassy can exchange money for you . it is close to the hospital/
