I had no estimation of cost for the hospital. I thought the out-of-pocket fee that my surgeon collected covered the hospital, but it was not. The hospital was an additional $2,273. I found this out 2 months AFTER the operation. I would have liked to get an estimation from the hospital BEFORE the operation. |

I would not want to comment on this because I was in another hospital but for a completely different type of procedure. |
| Comments: |
I felt that the hospital staff was not knowledgeable regarding weight loss surgery. They seemed so surprised when I told them that I had weight loss surgery, and asked me what was involved.
Also, in one particular situation, my sugar count had dropped and the nurses immediately started to encourage me to drink regular fruit juices which is a no no
after weight loss surgery.
Also, I felt that certain hospital staff were very insensative to my needs when I informed them about the difficulty in finding my veins to administer an IV. They insisted that they knew what they were doing only to cause me quite a bit of pain and anxiety. After having attempted to insert the IV needle I realized that it was not placed correctly and so they were not able to use it anyway. Who knows yourself better? |

It felt almost like a hotel- private
rooms, very good service, modern and
clean, and still nice enough to feel
homey. |
