Which MI hospital did you use?
Dr. Michael Wood did my surgery at Harper Hospital this past May. My experience at Harper was great, I had absolutely no complaints. They have a recently remodeled unit dedicated to bariatric surgery, the rooms are private (and large), I had my own bathroom, and the nurses were WONDERFUL - they are trained to understand the bariatric patient, and they had it down pat. They responded quickly when I needed anything and were extremely friendly. Really, I was very pleased with my care there. I was in the hospital for 2.5 days and I was off work for 6 weeks - I could have gone back after 4 weeks, that's when I felt "good" - but everybody's different.
