"I can tell you that I had several wonderful nurses while I was there for almost three weeks. They were well trained and had wonderful personalities.
The food was ok, but then we aren't there for food are we??? :-) The one thing i didn't like was that since I had complications i was unable to shower and they never offered to give me a sponge bath, I even asked once and the lady told me that since my family was there that they wouldn't do it. SO always ask and be persistent."
"I haven't met with Dr. Nye yet but his staff has been wonderful on the phone and setting me up with an appt. I'll update more when I see him on Sept. 20.
9-25-02 I met with Dr. Nye today and he is wonderful! He was very thorough, and took the time to draw me a real to life diagram, on the exam table paper(ha)of the procedure he is going to do and what effects it will have on me now and in the future. He asked if I had questions and he answered every one of them.
His staff is also great. They were extremely friendly and helpful in getting me scheduled promptly.
He has a strict aftercare program. You have to go see him once every month for the first year and is big on the support group.
I think it is best to be very prepared when you go in, ask lots of questions. Have a diet history with you too and your psych. eval done already. that will help speed things up for you."
