Thanks! June 8 Consultation

[Guest guest]

Thank you for all the information and recommendations. I finally

decided to get on with it and made my consultation appointment with

Dr. Elariny for June 8! The moment I did it I felt excited, then

almost immediately I started with the jitters. I make the airline

reservations tomorrow and, thankfully, have a dear friend who has

offered to go up with me and also during the surgery. Friends like

that are hard to find. I am debating on getting two seats as it has

been about 5 years and 125 lbs since I road in coach. I am using

American Ailines for the extra leg room. I wish I could afford first

class just for the seats, but no way! Any tips will be most

appreciated!

I will post more and might go ahead and start a web page like so many

others have. It has helped me so much that maybe I can do the same.

I will be around for my own " moral support " you can be sure! Thanks

again - have to get some sleep.

PS: If anyone has come from out-of-state for surgery with Dr.

Elariny, let me know if you have a recommendation on a place to stay

for that week. I realize I will be in the hospital most of it, but

my friend will need to be close. Thanks.

Well I didn't have surgery yet, but the Homestead Village Studios are about 1/2 mile from the hospital

Others got a much better rate than I did, but tell them that you are having surgery and maybe they will give you a break.

Their phone number is 703 560-6644.

I also got a list of other hotels in the area from the guest relations dept in the hospital.

They list:

Best Western 5 miles 703 591-5500

Comfort Inn Tysons 5.5 miles 703 448-8020

Comfort Inn University Center 5.5 miles 703 591-5900

Days Inn Springfield Mall 8 miles 703 534-9100

Double Tree Hotel at Tysons Corner 4.5 miles 703 922-6100

Fairview Park Marriott 1 mile 703 849-9400

Holiday Inn Fair Oaks 6.5 miles 703 352-2525

Holiday Inn Tysons 5 miles 703 893-2100

Residence Inn by tt 1.2 miles 703 573-5200

Kathy....I think I might have an idea as to why the person didn't give you a good rate.....when I was checking out, I was told that there was a "new girl" that really didn't know what she was doing that checked me in.....she made a mistake on my paperwork and was really flustered because I paid in cash.....So maybe you talked to her when you made res. I would maybe cancel yours and try again another night?? It's worth a shot.....I got my King Deluxe room for $79 a night.

Thanks Bobbi Jo, $79 is much better than $109 so I will give it a try.

How are you feeling? did that pain get better? I sure hope so.

,

The info below is good for the surgery itself, but not

necessarily optimal for the June 8 consult. That's because the

surgery is at Fairfax Hospital, and the consult is adjacent to

Arlington Hospital.
