I flew into San Diego on Thursday the day prior to my surgery date. It was easy to find the area at the airport for pick up. The driver was very friendly and the other patients were amazing! We arrived at the hospital for blood work. My son was already at the hotel as he was scheduled to get surgery on the same day as me. The driver went to the hotel and picked him up for me so that we could do the blood work together. After being checked out, we went back to the hotel. They were very friendly and helpful. My son and I went to the hospital the next morning. I was nervous, but also ready to start the next chapter of my life. The nurses came in and started me and my son's IVs and then it was time! We spent one night at the hospital, the next day, the doctor came in and checked on us, all was well and my son and I went back to the hotel. Gas-X strips were our friend!!!Walking is key!!! you will be amazed at how much you feel better after you have walked. My son and I went to the mall and even did some shopping!! The nurses at the hotel were awesome and very caring. I was thankful that all went well!! Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend this to anyone! I am so thankful that I now have a tool to help me in my weight loss journey. Thank you WLA!!!
