"The hospital lobby is gorgeous, like a Hilton. The floor that I was on was old and needed a lot of work. I was on a weight loss surgery floor and was roomed with a "much older" lady than myself, and she was in diapers, and had to be changed every hour. Lights on, everybody loud, smells galore... where is the Lysol? They had no Lysol! That was gross. The nurses were very nice, overworked and much in demand, I tried to leave them alone, I had my husband and mother with me during my entire stay, so they cared for me."
"I fell in love with Dr. Trivedi at the informational seminar. I loved his voice, soft and assuring, but also confident. When I went for my consult he held my hand when he saw me getting emotional about something. That spoke volumes to me. He insisted I ask him more questions when we met. I didn't have many questions because I had been going to support group meetings for a few months at that time, and they had answered most of my questions. He said to me, \"You have to ask me at least 2 questions-you drove all the way up here from Toms River!\". He took his time with me.rnrn**UPDATE** POST SURGERYrnrnOk, well I liked Dr. Trivedi before the surgery, now I am in LOVE with him! What a gentle man. He assured me every step of the way that I was going to be ok. He held my hand when I needed it and always told the truth, he tells it like it is, but that made me feel safe to be in his care. I just knew with him watching over me I was going to be ok in the end. He came in to see my before surgery and talked with me, I had been crying to my husband when he came in, Dr. Trivedi simply said \"you can't stay like you are\"....that summed it all up in a nutshell for me. That was the bottom line, short and sweet, I needed to get on with the surgery and start a new life. In the recovery room he came to me and told me it was a \"textbook\" surgery and all of my organs looked great, he also removed scar tissue from 2 cesareans, a bonus! After surgery I was worried because I was running a low grade fever. Dr. Trivedi came in with a 4 man \"army\" (I guess interns) and he had them examining me looking for reasons I was warm. I felt like I was on an episode of Grays Anatomy, too funny!rnrnI can not say enough good about this man. He is amazing, and if you are looking for a surgeon, put him on the top of your list. He is the BEST!!rnrn(PS-he is very easy on the eyes too :)"
