Horizon Medical Center Hospital
This hospital has an excellent Bariatric program, which includes sensitivity training by all the staff in the hospital. The bariatric program uses RN nurses that are assigned 1 bariatric patient to care for. They were friendly, supportive and I pretty much felt waited on hand and foot. They took care of all my needs and questions, and also walked with me. This Hospital is a wonderful choice for someone who is considering WLS.
My hospital stay was excellent. I felt like the only one in the hospital. My nurses were knowledgeable & very supportive. I never once felt like they looked down on me because of my size. They gave me great encouragemant. The program coodinator has a geninue concern for the people she helps. Always returned my phone calls promptly and never got upset with any of my craziness in trying to get everything together before my surgery. SHe is just as concerned & helpful since my surgery. She works very hard at making you inderstand the program & your new lifestyle. I havent had a chance to go to any support groups yet but am looking forward to it.
