The surgical staff were great, the recovery room staff were at times great and at times very unprofessional. Once I got up to the "regular floor" my care went totally downhill, took hours to have needs met, from water, to help getting up, to the correct liquid to drink, to even getting my meds.... a nightmare. I was so thankful to be going home!!

I was put in ICU for 24 hrs because they didn't have a room for me. When they finally got me to a room, it was on the trauma floor. The nursing staff was not experienced w/ bariatric patients. Noone encouraged me to walk or assisted me with walking. Noone assisted me in the bathroom. I was also told to shower myself. We didn't get food until day 3..and it was full of sugar! There were even packets of sugar on the tray! The employees who wheel you for testing, etc were very unprofessional. They rammed me into a doorway (very painful)..and they forgot to lock my roommate's bed when they transported her back to her bed (very painful). Also, they left me in a lonely hallway while they ate ribs and talked and swore. When they were asked again to transport me (by the radiologist)..they said "no..not doing it now". When they finally got around to doing it, the girl was picking the ribs out of her teeth while wheeling me in my bed and rammed into the doorway.
