| I was informed about Weight Wise when I joined the Obesity Help message board. I am self pay, so several people referred me to this hospital. I enjoy having a all inclusive hospital only 2 hours away from my home. |

The staff seems to have more bed side manners than other hospitals, they seem to care about your well being and you success to succeed. They are care about you getting healthy and fit, and not just another dime in their pocket. |

The facility was great, and the staff truly unbelievable. So many of the people on staff have already been down the WLS road that they are truly empathetic at all times. I couldn't have chosen a better place to start my new life. |

| Competitors: |
Much better for this type of surgery because that is all they do. Staff train to care for your needs and what to look for before during and after surgery. |
| Comments: |
I began working with weight wise medical staff about 1 1/2 years ago. The purpose of working with weight wise was to get my life and eating habits under control. My bariatric surgery was done 23 years ago with no support program after the surgery.
I learned about weight wise from a friend so I decided it was time to take back my life. They were there with a nutritional program which was wasy to work .
The medical nutritional and excercise staff worked to make sure everthing I was undertaking was medically correct. My blood levels were checked and documented all the time.
I have met many goals of weight loss to the tune of 60 pounds, but more importantly it has nothing to do with how much weight I've lost but that I just feel awhole lot better and I am in the best medical shape I've been in years.

| Comments: |
I would recommend this hospital for anyone having bariatric surgery. It i nice to be there with people like yourself, no one is "sick" everyone is happy. When you walk the halls you don't hear people moaning or sick or worry about getting what another patient might have , you smile and make friends . I really thought it was the best experience I have ever had and my family was very impressed as well. |
