Cujet here. My wife (mamacujo) posted in this thread, under my screen name by accident. Sorry for the confusion. She had a private room right after recovery. I don't believe Memorial hospital has any semi private rooms in the bariatric section. I went to visit her in recovery. And after going to the recovery section, I believe remaining there for a while is a very good thing. Everybody there was very attentive to her needs, and it's very well equipped in case additional attention is needed. Please understand, I cannot answer your questions about the surgery, as it was not me, but mamacujo that had it. I will say this, Memorial hospital was stunningly clean, the staff was quite attentive and my general feeling about the hospital, staff and surgeon was 100% positive. They let me remain with my wife overnight, in privacy, without question. That in itself is a miracle with today's strict rules.

I just had my surgery on Monday at Memorial Hospital. Dr. Webb is my doc. He is very good. My family like him also. My husband said that it seems that he really likes what he does. He had a big smile on his face when he came out to speak to them. Recovery was not separate for bariatric patients. I was actually fine in there. I was using my pain med pump and people watching. I had one guy two beds down that sounded like Billy Bob Thornton in Sling Blade. I had to laugh. I was doing great until later in the night when my pain meds started making me VERY sick. I stopped using it. After that my husband stayed with me all night (poor thing was so uncomfortable) It made it much easier for me to get up and go to the bathroom and get ice, etc. They got me on meds I could tolerate and that made it better too. I would feel horrible one minute then passable the next. Go Figure. I was happy to get out of the hospital.I have to give them high marks though. Very nice private room and attentive staff. No complaints here. I didn't realized my husband had become a member here and I posted this under his name!!!!! I am Mamacujo.
