Day 2... I've had stomach cramping for most of the day
Typing from recovery
The only drawback I will say was the lack of diet guidance before op. I read and knew to be on a liquid diet for two or more days before and I didn't eat after 7pm last night. I also researched taking the pepcid for a week prior daily. Right now I think it all helped and the only complaint is the weight stretching my stomach that feels like you are a McDonald's gut-bomb or 3 and you're trying to digest it. So an uncomfortable full feeling without eating.... I assume this is my life now! Ha
My driver called after I landed and although we were stuck on the tarmac waiting for a gate he was super polite and accommodating. Getting weighted and measured was easy, final payment, then off to the hospital. I have my own room and they have hotel safes with a code you pick in the room for your valuables. Doctor and nurses were great. I have enjoyed this thus far. Keep you posted for the next few days of my recover week that seem to be the challenge for all.
Provider Review
There was very little discussion of pre-procedure eating plan. I ate liquids only for 48hours before flying down. The process was simple. I met at the consultation center and was weighed and made my final payment. Then I was transported over to the hospital. I was given a room with a safe for my valuables and it had a private restroom and hospital bed that had an air compression bed that was amazingly comfortable. I was taken up to prep. Given my IV and meds in it, I was given 2 1/2 saline bottles which helped my hydration and I think helped with recovery the next two days. The doctor was helpful and they gave me my diet for discharge and I was transported back to the airport and flew home. I didn't have any issues with my return flight or pain.
