Maryview Medical Center Hospital
Hospital has a unit dedicated to bariatric patients. It was a wonderful experience. The nurses were all skilled and very polite. Were very responsive to any all needs I had during my stay. Would recommend Bon Secours Surgical Weight Loss to anyone looking for a facility and team for bariatric surgery.
Overall, everything was great except the Bariatric floor needs more nurses! You push the nurse button and someone says "she'll be right in" and 10 min go by and you do that all over again, and finally after like 20 min. someone finally comes in. All my nurses were great and I wrote great things about them all on the survery I did before I left.
I was really pleased to have a private room, I hadn't expected that. My only problems were during the day shift the afternoon following my surgery. I was not told I needed to ask for pain meds after my PCA was removed. By the time I fianally asked, I was hurting. Somehow that fell through the cracks and 1 1/2 hrs later when I finally got my meds I was in extreme pain.
