I really could not have asked for anything more. The hospital is old, and the parking is overwhelmed, but otherwise, the experience was awesome. They put a bed in my room so that my mom could stay with me the entire time. My doctors came to see me all the time, and I was well cared for by the nurses.

When they move this facility to Bethesda, Andrews Air Force Base, and Ft. Belvior (present plan) I hope that they can keep the present attitude.

Parking is a hassle most of the time, but we didn't have a problem on the day of surgery because we were there so early. The nursing staff was excellent and very accomodating. The nurse on duty the day after my surgery actually had several different liquids waiting for me when I came back from doing my barium swallow. It was a very nice surprise since I wasn't able to even swallow any water before they checked my band.

The people at Walter Reed were absolutely unbelievable! They were kind yet upfront and honest, they were attentive past my wildest dreams! I was overwhelmed by how positive my experience with Walter Reed was. The hospital is old, and there are definite signs of this, but aside from that everything far exceeded my needs and expectations. They are in the process of building a new hospital that should be open in the next few years, so even the one 'complaint' I had is being remedied as I type. I just can't say enough!

The food service system had the worst understanding of post op menus for bariatric patients. They brought me caffinated tea and coffee, sugar packets instead of splenda or sweetner, and just didn't seem to get it right until the last day of my stay.

The surgery and Recovery was more than EXCELLENT!! The time in the regular hospital room was great but some of the nurses didn't understand WLS so the head nurse said she will do a class on WLS.

I feel that the civilian nursing staff in every department I used could use some people training and show more "care" in how they perform their duties. The military staff was exceptional!!!

Rita J. for Walter Reed Army Medical Center

Dr. Marley and his team are the best. The absolute positively best. He goes way beyond to see to each patients care and needs both before and long after surgery. He attends and participates in all the group monthly meetings. Everyone loves him. He truly is uniquire in his caring and concern and you know its genuine. He and his team go that extra mile. Nutrition and plastic surgery available now to those that qualify after their surgery and weight loss has stabilized, etc.
