When we arrived at the Motel it was clean and looked just like the pictures. A nurse gave us water, jello and juice to enjoy until the 10pm deadline for no drinks. The next morning we arrived at the Hospital very clean. Some nurses came and talked to us and they spoke very good english. I felt at ease when the Dr came in and said "he didn't speak good english but had great hands". He did answer questions with the help of a nurse. I felt like the care we received in the hospital and at the Motel was great. The nursed were always willing to help. We spend most of our time by the pool, it was beautiful, and the nursed always knew where to find us when the Dr arrived to check on us. It was a great experience and i would recommend it. It is surgery so there is pain like any other surgery. I started the pre op diet on April 1, today is April 24th. I have lost a total of 21 lbs and i feel great.
