"Ok, I will start with the bad...1)nurses did not inform me why my surgery was a few hours delayed, just let us sit there 2)I had a screaming 80 year old woman in my room the whole stay
The nurses were good...checked on me often, especially 2 nurses were wonderful...too bad I forgot their names. I would have actually prefered to have oral medication than the morphine pump, since it did nothing for me, but that is what I had gotten.
There was a variety in "jello" given...and constantly gave me ice chips which I loved.
They had a HUGE wheelchair to wheel me out in, the hospital staff was great, but "general visitors" were bad with the "dirty looks" because this huge fat girl was rolled out in the fat person chair :-)"
"Ok, I finally met with the wonderful Dr. Goodman. Over a year ago, I started to research the possibility of WLS. Dr Goodman, was a wonderful source of info, and very freindly through email. Due to my mothers concern, I thought about the procedure very carefully. Well, here it is a year and a half later, and I finally made an appointment. My aunt and I went together, and the office staff was wonderful. Dr Goodman actually remembered my original inquiries over a year ago which put me right at ease. He is very straight to the point about the risks, and the importance of aftercare. Vitamins, Vitamins, VITAMINS!!!!
They has a nutritionist there whom you can speak with, and a monthy support group. He is available through email to answer any questions. He has passion for his proffession, and love for his patients. He is my number one choice. Next step, Surgery date. :-)
Wait time for the Dr. was 20 min, and his seats were great for big butts!!! Very retro looking office."
