"My stay had its highs and lows. First, I had to wait 4 hours in Recovery for a bed, but the nurse there was wonderful so it wasn't too bad. When I did get to a room, I was put in with a non-bariatric roommate who had some significant issues, which kept me from getting much sleep. The nurses were attentive with pain meds but I had to ask to get up and walk, or else I would have laid there the whole time. Also, several staff couldn't operate the bariatric bed. I was expecting more specific care for bariatric patients, but otherwise I think it was a fairly typical hospital stay."
"Dr. Drew was great. I met him for the first time at my consultation and he was very informative, if a little dry. When I saw him again in the hospital he was more friendly and made me feel at ease. I felt like I was in good hands with him. However, neither he nor his office staff will hold your hand through the process. They give you good information, but at times I felt unsure or confused about what I needed to do."
