" I can't say enough about these people. Beginning with Mark Mortenson the bariatric program coordinator who gave me and my support person wealths upon wealths of information and support. If you had a question, very easy to call or email to get an answer. I never felt like I was shut out in the cold by myself. The support is incompareable. I am now 19 days out from surgery and feeling pretty well. I am surprised at how this really works. I have lost about 47 pounds pre and post operatively.
Dr. Eaton has a passion for what he does and it shows. He is very helpful, very nice, very informative and also answered all my questions completely. I never felt rushed in his office nor like a second class citizen. He is sensitive to the needs of his bariatric patients and I was completely confident in his surgical skill.
The staff at Rogue Regional Medical Center Bariatric wing were also very helpful and kind. They were immediately attentive to my needs, whether it was needing to get up to the restroom or repositioning in bed or literally needing 6 warm blankets to be comfortable. They showed concern and care and sensitivity in dealing with me and although I didn't have too many special needs, I am certain they would have done anything to keep me comfortable. They did not push medication but certainly made sure that I had it before I needed it so I would be on top of my pain levels.
Best decision I ever made. "
