Virginia Mason Franciscan Health Center for Weight Management at St. Francis

"My surgeon was delightful and all the people from the center for weight loss surgery were very helpful and compassionate. But the nurses at St. Frances is another story. While in my recovery from surgery I had a nurse belittle me, accuse me of vomiting on purpose, spill scalding water on me (then wipe my side off and tell me I was fine), make me cry, and give me medication that made me ill on more then one occasion. I was recovering in the maternity ward (for some reason?) and I had pregnant tweens eyeing me over and giggling while I did my post-op laps around the ward which I didn't find amusing. I also had nurses treat me like a sack of crap. Don't get me wrong, some of the nurses were absolutely amazing. One of them, when I kept vomiting up my pain meds, gave me some meds in my IV to let me rest for a while. She was my angel in the midst of all the hell I had to go through. I had my own room and my boyfriend and roommate were allowed to stay with me through the duration, which was nice. Other then that... Those nurses need to learn how to treat people who have just had major surgery with respect."
