My RNY with Dr. Johnson is on Sept 13.  My preop appt is this Wednesday.  I wanted to ask if we have single rooms or do we share?  Is there a DVD player?  Internet WiFi?  Just wander this silly little questions so I can prepare my husband as well for the experience.  Any other things I should expect there?

Private rooms... don't know about wi fi.... didn't surf while I was there......Nice clean hospital.... only thing negative is the nurses station is further from the bariatric wing then it should be.... Just my 2 cents...

You have good doc , good hospital.... you'll do great !!!!

Clean and modern facilities, and above all very quiet.  Not sure about wifi as I reall didn't care after surgery.  Pre-op is private rooms mine even had TV.

Beautiful hospital and great caring staff.  I was treated like a queen while I was there and they let you take their robe home with you.  Its extremely large now but I love it and wear it often.   Have no idea about wifi but I'd guess yes since the hospital is very modern. Your in good hands!  Dr Johnson is a great surgeon! 
Wishing you all the best!!  You'll do great. See you on the other side!

 The next P.O.P’s (Pre-Op Pearls) class will be held in the Frist Conference Room, Suite 109 of the Physician’s Plaza (at the Hospital) Saturday, September 11th at 10:30 am, registration is not required.  That's where they take you on a tour of the Bariatric Center and tell you all there is to tell about having a surgery there.  You can call Lynne Winne the Bariatric Coordinator for more info 678-474-8222.  My husband and I are going just so we can get all our questions answered and get a lay of the land before our big days.

It's a wonderful facility.  I suspect that they do have wifi there.  Emory Midtown (formerly Crawford Long) has it so I assume John's Creek also has wifi.

Thank you all for your information!  Today, I am off to a day of pre-op appts at the Johnson's office and the hospital.
