Gocubs23 0 Posted October 9, 2013 I had my surgery at the downtown campus on April 5th with Dr. Rogula. I hate hospitals and doctors lol but everyone there were so professional and kind that it was a wonderful experience for sure. My doc also did the surgery with the Davinci robot which gave me much faster healing time. I would be more then happy to answer any questions for you. They were great!

Gocubs23 0 Posted October 10, 2013 Surgery was friday morning and was out on monday morning. I would have been out on sunday but my intestines were swollen so I couldnt poop lol. Very common but once I started going I was able to start drinking Water and popsicle. Walk walk walk! I got up the night of surgery and walked the halls for a while. Everybody there was great. The only annoyance was the people with the sleep apnea machine..I didnt want to wear it cause it sucked bad lol...if you have any specific questions feel free to ask Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rebecca920 24 Posted May 13, 2015 @@hellohealthy wow. So cool to meet someone from my area! Can I ask you what did they do for preop? I have preop next Wednesday 10-3? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hellohealthy 32 Posted May 13, 2015 Pre-op was boring - bring a book! I saw the medical doctor, the anesthesiologist, the surgeon and got my blood taken. I was also sent to the pulmonologist for a lung function test the next day. Basically just lots of questions. Nothing too bad at all. It's just your final clearance before surgery. And I know, small world! Everyone on the unit was great in terms of being taken care of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Naomi H 3 Posted July 6, 2015 I am having my surgery at University Hospital Parma in August. My mom had her surgery at Cleveland Clinic about 3 years ago. She is doing good and has lost a lot of weight. I decided on Parma because I didn;t want to have all of my appointments and required meetings downtown. I just don't like going to the main campus of wither Cleveland Clinic or University hospitals. Now that Parma hospital is part of the University system it really was the best decision for me. I do know the rusian or eastern european nurse on the bariartic floor at the Cleveland Clinic is very nice. She will take good care of you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
