Cypress Fairbanks Medical Center Hospital

The nurses and all the other staff are wonderful. I would recommend this hospital to anyone. The staff is so accommodating to your needs and concerns.

I was not on the floor that most WLS patients are placed on and I think that made a difference in my care. I was not *told* to walk or breathe or cough or anything. I did these things on my own. The dietary department was TERRIBLE! They brought inappropriate meals every single time (sugar, solids when I needed liquids!) The nurses were very busy. I felt sorry for them. I know it wasn't their fault. I was glad to get home. It wasn't a very pleasant experience.

The nurses were sent from a temp agency and their knowledge of this surgery was very poor. They ask me more questions about it the surgery instead of answering mine.

I had two unpleasant opportunites during my stay. My first night after surgery a nurses aid came in the room with her dinner plate and sat in our room and ate her dinner. At that point I didn't feel like eating but I just thought it wasn't the place for her to have her meal. The second night I was having to go to the bathroom, which I could do by myself but I needed help getting the vibrating stockings off my legs. I paged the nurse 4 times and it took over 25 minutes to get someone to my room.

Overall I had a good experience. My first day, the nurse was very present and anticipated any needs I had.

Hospital experience was very pleasant. I was a little worried since I had heard bad stories of it but my overall stay was excellent. THe nurses were great & very sweet & attended to my every need!

The only thing that i can say is that I was treated excellent by the staff here.

the staff is phenomenal, the doctors are great.

I feel that the hospital as a whole is terrific. Being that most people hate hospitals this was one you would not have those feelings about. The staff, from top to bottom were wonderful.

The operating and recovery staff were right on the money. The private room was as comfortable and secluded as could be possible. When I was mostly out of it in recovery and needed a fan to help me breath easier, they responded quickly. Only one nurse out of the whole lot didn't understand that I couldn't take a huge pill that was only partially cut up: this made my stomach queazy for a couple of hours and she called my surgeon without explaining that her pill caused the reaction. This incident almost made my doctor hold me over for another day since he thought I was having difficulty with food intake. Other than this particular nurse, everyone else was a-okay. It was wonderful how the admin staff processes the paperwork and there is no fuss or bother with all that once everything is set to go.
