Lapoli7 Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 I was wondering if we are required to be there the day before Surgery. If so, are we supposed to be there by a certain time?? Do we have to go to the office before we can check into the Hotel? What time are we allowed to check into the Hotel? I know, I know, a lot of questions.

I know, I know, a lot of questions. I was local so I was able to book the same day but I think it's different if you're traveling. I bet if you contact Lori she'll answer these questions...

RogerF Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Well I was banded last Friday and I was told they prefer arrival before 12:00 on the day before. Once in they took us straight to the clinic for pre-op (blood, weight and nutrition, and lung/EKG). We got in about 10:30, picked up with several others and to the clinic before 12, and to the hotel between 2-2:30. After that we were taken to the hotel for check-in and free until 8 AM the next day when Mrs. Ortiz picked us upto go back for banding. If you're making your way in yourself, I would think the earlier you can get in and out the better to enjoy the rest of your day. Hotel is close and may have a check-in time but can probably accomodate you whenever you arrive. I think there is a link to the hotel on the OCC website.

McKenna Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 I am hoping to fly into San Diego with my husband (if I can convince him this is a good idea ) and my question is, will he be able to stay at the resort while I am in the hospital or do I need to make other arrangements for him?

mommyrkr Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 They do not charge extra for your companion to stay in the hotel the night that you have surgery. They do however, if you don't have a companion, ask you to take your things and check out. No point in paying for a hotel room that no one is using. But if you have someone with you, that is included in the price of the surgery. Just did the whole thing a few weeks ago, and no problems.

LoriBecky Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 If you can arrive in San Diego by noon the day before surgery we'll do pre-ops that day. If you have to arrive later than that, or your surgery is scheduled for a Monday, we'll bring you to the hotel straight from the airport the day before surgery (any time) and then pick you up around 8 am from the hotel for pre-ops and surgery. Rene at our clinic does all the transporation coordination so make sure you speak with him to let him know your travel itinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
