Carolina Medical Center-Mercy Hospital

An awful experience. I will never go there again if I have a choice.
Since this hospital does not have a formal bariatric program supporting weight loss surgery, the staff and equipment are not "patient friendly" towards obese people.
The nursing and radiology depts had several people in them that were extremely rude and made comments under their breath about my weight. It was hard to get anyone to come into my room to help me if I paged from the bathroom. I had the open RNY and needed help post-op cleaning after BMs and was met with hostility when I asked the nursing staff for help.
When I was back in the same hospital 2 yrs later and quite a bit smaller I was treated very differently, much better. It was very evident that there was a discrimination or bad attitude towards obese patients.
