I was given a private room and was not disturbed unless it was for a medical reason. The hallways were busy but with the door shut it was quiet enough to rest. The staff was above excellent. They knew what they were doing and obviously had taken care of many WLS patients. They were quick to respond to my needs, concerns, and always asked if they could do anything else for me. The hospital has also just been designated a Center of Excellence. I thought the staff was great and that the hospital was well equiped too. I would not hesitate to use their services.

The nursing staff I had after surgery knew very little about gastric bypass they even gave me jello with sugar and asked if I had their naracotic keys?? Not a great nursing staff I had to begg to have help to get up to walk and sometimes it took hours then i had to walk alone
I think it is marvelous. Have been there many times with other family members and have always been pleased with the experience.
Memorial is a great hospital with great staff. The nurses on the Surgery floor are well arrive of the needs of bariatric patients and they were (most of the time) very helpful and attentive to my needs.
THE ONLY COMPLAINT I HAD WAS 2ND SHIFT STAFF WAS EXCELLENT-SEEMED LIKE THEY CARED AND WERE MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE. 3RD SHIFT NEEDED TO LOOK AT THE CHARTS A LITTLE BETTER BECAUSE MEDICATION WAS STOPPED AND THEY TRIED TO GIVE IT TO ME ANYWAY THERE WAS A COUPLE OF PEOPLE ON DAY SHIFT THAT SEEMED TO KNOW ABOUT GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERIES.
The hospital was good. My husband stayed with me 24/7 so the staff didnt' have to do as much as they might have with other patients. My husband was always getting my ice and helping me with my baths and things like that.
Memorial has dedicated several beds on the second floor, general wing to bariatric patients. These are private rooms that are bigger and more spacious, have larger chairs etc. The staff on this floor have been speically trained to care for the special needs of bariatric patients. There was no question too silly, nothing they wouldn't help you with. They were prompt when answering the call bell and made sure that you were comfortable yet still made sure that you were up and moving in accordance with the post surgical routine. Excellent hosptial. Excellent staff.
