"The hospital was clean and most of the staff were very kind. There was one female nurse that was kind crabby and wanted things done her way only. But there was a nurse named Jim who was a GODSEND to me. He was truly an angel and he knew his stuff. I had the D/S and the staff wernt quite up on the post-op diet for the d/s but overall care was great. The nurse Jim made a big difference in my stay"
" I saw Dr. Buckwald On March 21, 2001. It was a group meeting. The dietian did the first part, she explained the diet and said he does 2 different surgery and she then explained them. I am having the duodenal Switch surgery. The doctor came in for the 2nd half of the meeting and explained the 2 surgerys, afterwards we met with him for a few minutes. He asked me what kind surgery i wanted and I told him the DS. He asked me why and I told him my reasons. he gave me a business card and told to call danette the next day to get the insurance going. I called and she gave me a DATE!!! It is May 22nd of 2001. I go back for pre-op tests one week before surgery.. Danette sent in my insurance stuff that same day and it was approved the next day!!!!"
