LakeView Regional Medical Center Hospital

THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAD WAS THAT I WAS TOLD IT WAS A FLAT FEE, THEN LATER RECEIVED BILL FOR LAB WORK. WHEN I CALLED WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT INCLUDED EVEN THOUGH I WAS TOLD AT PRE-OP THAT IT WAS.

The hospital was very clean, the staff was very nice and I would recommend it for anyone who is thinking about having wls in my area

I can't say much more. They were kind
and accommadating to me and my husband.

I would choose Lakeview Regional for any type of procedure I needed to have done. Everyone there seems to really be glad to help and genuinely concerned for the patients. From the folks at pre-admissions to the recovery room to the nurses and the tech that wheeled me to the car, everyone was friendly and made me feel safe. There is not enough room on this website to say all the good things I would say about this hospital.

Wonderful experience.

I found hospital understaffed as are all hospitals. My stay would have been alittle better if the bed was not so uncomfortable, but comfort seems to be something hospitals are not too concerned with.

The staff including the dietary staff didn't understand the difference between DS and Gastric Bypass. They also made up tiny little cups of crystal light lemonade that were too strong terrible and kept trying to get me to drink them- ugh! Even when I got full liquids it was in the tiny little 1 oz. cups.
Quiet a few of the nurses had had either the gastric bypass or lap band and so were very sympathetic.

The only thing that I gave a poor response to was the way that the staff was not very sensitive to overweight people. My main issue was that, having to have your bottom wiped for you is horrible enouh. 2 times that I had to ask for help, the nurses acted as though this was the most horrible thing. One nurse squirted my bottom with water from 2 feet away and then asked if it helped?!?! Other than this, they were awesome.

All the nurses that I had were wonderful.
Respiratory staff also.

Overall it was amazing to feel as if everyone there knew what u where going thru. They had so many encouraging words for you. I love this hospital!
