Barix Clinics of Texas Hospital
This hospital is a great facility. I was a little unsure because I didn't ask for a tour when I went for the consultation although I should have. It is a fantastic place and all of the day nurses went beyond the call of duty. They were so kind and knowledgable and eager to help me with kind words and honest information. I am so thankful that God led me to this hospital because I believe that I had the best experience that a person can have when taking on such an endevor.
My hospital stay was good. The people were kind and caring and upbeat. One of the things I thought was funny, was that once you came back to your room (private) from surgery...in a bed, the first time they got you up, when they put you back to bed, it was in a lounge chair. I never got back into the hospital bed again. The chair was a nice touch, in view of the difficulty of getting out of a bed.
I felt that the staff was very attentive to my pain. When I had been asleep for a long time and was woke up to walk around and had not had any pain medicine from my IV drip in a while the nurse would give me extra medication to help ease the pain while I was up walking. Also any time that I needed anything the staff was right there to help me and I did not have to wait like you do at most other hospitals. They did not have a lot of other patients to have to attend to like other hospitals do so they are able to help you when you need the help. I would very highly recommend BTC to anyone that is looking to have bariatric surgery done.
1. The facility is GEARED toward accommodating the needs of obese people. They provide "reachers" to assist with bathing and personal hygiene needs.
2. Very attentive to complaints of discomfort.
3. Many of the staff have had some sort of bariatric surgical procedure also, so they tended to be sympathetic to the situation.
4. Although Wylie is a little out of the way -- the hospital facility was very modern and accommodating.
5. The PCT, I wish I could remember her name, she was THE BEST. I felt like she was MY personal assistant, she was always there when I needed her help.
Where do I begin....Thank you Dr. Thrift for putting my mind at ease during our "one minute" before surgery. My husband and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts. To the nurses: Pam, you always had a comforting and soothing voice and I felt as if you were a mom. You always calmed my nerves and soothed my heart. Donna, thank you for always sitting up with me at 4 am and doing the breathing excersises-you never made me feel like I was a bother to you. And lastly Johnetta Boyd....thank you for dealing with all my gross stuff and my good bye hug...you made me feel so welcomed and missed. You guys are the best and deserve raises or promotions or something...more recognition for a job extremely well done. Thank you all once again, and God bless you and your familys always.
