360 Body Lift and Disappointment in WW

So I am finally home today after the most horrible experience at weight wise. The 360 body lift was excruciating but not nearly as bad as the arms and boobs last year. I have never received such bad care as that which I recieved last night. I only asked for assistance twice but it seems that it took over an hour to get pain medicine! When Dr. Sawan came in this morning to see me I had already fixed my own drains twice and thought I was going to die. Thank God for my mother who helped me out of the bed and to the bathroom. It was ridiculous as I was ready to go when Sawan came in this morning and said I could go home. When I asked the very uneducated nurse when I could leave she said "well I've been here all night and you'll just have to wait because I'm trying to leave." what the heck?! I was about to die of pain and she couldn't even tell me when I was going to leave. I am so disappointed in Summit. On a brighter note the pain isn't as bad as I anticipated and while I still need help I am doing ok. I just keep reminding myself that this is all worth it!

Wow!!!!! What an unfortunate experience, I'm so sorry I can only imagine how uncomfortable you were.   Hopefully, someone there reads and pays attention to your post, and we'll hope this nurse was from a temp service and not one of their usual employees.

Hope you are doing better today :)

I am so sorry you had a bsad experience at Summit.  I had my tummy tuck there almost 2 weeks ago and my care was excellent.  Hoepfully that was an exception to their level of care.

You are so right, the pain has been much less than I anticipated.  It is so worth the pain, cost, and inconvience!  Now, once the swelling goes down I will have to figure out how to dress my new body.

I have maintained for one year at this point.  I am steady at -120 pounds.  =)

I'm sorry you had a bad experience!  My experience there in November was mostly good, I didn't have a problem with any of the nurses, but I had an issue with the person that checked me in.  I found her to be a little bit rude.

First of all congrats on the plastics!
Second I would be hella p'ed off about the care/service and surely would email/call/write who/whom ever is in charge of patient care (Head Nurse or Patient Advocate). If no one ever reports these things, then they will never be fixed.

Speedy recovery!

I have nothing good to say about Weight Wise since they switched to Sumitt.  I haven't been there in person but I have been calling for over 6 months about my iron levels and never get a response.  I have left several messages and only actually spoke to a person once who said she would get with Dr. B and call me back.  Well thats been over 1 month ago so I finally called my PCP for my iron check and she has started me on a new vitamin, again left a message to tell them and ask if it was okay and still nothing.  I don't know if the staff has changed but it wasn't like this 2 yrs ago when I started they were very helpful.
