| I chose not to have surgery here because my insurance will not cover it, the moment they found this out they did not want to even talk to me untill i came up with $12,000 down - they they could talk to me. But then it could be upwards of $100,000 If i had to spend anytime in ICU which was very likely because i am "much larger than their usual patients" WTF!!! |

It was nice and clean as a hospital should be - just like all the other hospitals i have been in nothing special. |
| Comments: |
if you can afford it or if your insurance will cover WLS the hospital has a great program called New U - just don't listen to their generic "we will help financially" crap! |

I told someone my first day there that I was glad that I wasn't unconscious, because I really felt that I had to stay on top of the staff to keep track of things. I was in terrible pain the first day and had to beg for medication--not fun. |

The Nurses where wonderful, I had a couple who had had the surgery themselves. They were very caring and very firm about getting me up and moving. That I will always be greatful for! |
