Guest guest Posted June 12, 2000 Report Share Posted June 12, 2000 Susie G, I stayed at Duke Tower if you have any questions you would like to ask. We stayed in a suite which was perfect for us. My daughter, grandbaby(13mos) and I. We were on the second floor. I had no trouble going up and down the steps post-op. I felt very safe there and many of the people there attend the Duke University Rice Diet program. You will not feel out of place being a large person even when lounging at the pool. We enjoyed it. The hospital is easy to find from there and there is a mall nearby to give you something to do. Darlene Susie G. wrote: > Dear Zoey, > Oh, I just adore that name and always did.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2000 Report Share Posted June 12, 2000 Dear Zoey, Oh, I just adore that name and always did. Of course I gave birth to two sons so never had the opportunity to use it! So...... I will not be drinking my decaf ever again???? Oh boy. Well I am sure it was never good for me anyway. I did not realize that all the MGBers have had to give up their coffee. I know it's a small price to pay, and I will do the same. Your weight loss is wonderful! 6 weeks and 37 lbs GONE FOREVER!!!! It must be so comforting now that your surgery is over and all the connections are beautifully healed and your on your way.. I can't wait to be where you are now. s posts are also so encouraging. It is so amazing the gammet of emotions this journey takes us through. From being so hopeful and excited after finding out about the surgery itself and Dr R. to the frustration and stress of getting all the pre surgical packet, info and data together, then the Inc Co. dance, and then the big day when Barbara calls with the good news.... This is where I am now. and yet I know my " trip to Oz " as put it, has not yet begun. Now I am frightened and busting with excitement at the same time. Here it is June 12th and my MGB date is July 12th. Personally an emotional day for me personally. My sweet husband passed away in December and July 12th would have been our 21st wedding anniversary. I was so hoping that I could have the surgery on that exact day and my wish came true! So... here I am waiting and wondering what to pack. I have booked a hotel reservation at Med Stay. They are charging $62 a night with breakfast and lunch included . However, they are six miles from the hospital. I want to check out the price and deal at Duke Towers which is much closer. Where did you stay if anywhere? OK I could write for the next 30 days, so I'll say toodloo for now... Thanks for the info.
