BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted November 25, 2015 @@Ms. Babyboo - LOVE The hospital and the program. I had Noel Williams as my surgeon. Everything went smoothly, no pain post-op, no complications. I had a private room. Staff was friendly and attentive. I adore Sam the nutritionist. I still go to the support groups from time to time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms. Babyboo 25 Posted November 25, 2015 Oh yeah that sound wonderful...hahneman isn't really supportive or informational the staff is arrogant and i was very uncomfortable....would u mind being my new sleeve buddy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BullyMomma 10 Posted November 25, 2015 I'm in NJ, but doing everything through the Penn program. My surgeon works out on Penn Hospital rather than HUP so that's the only difference. I went to my first support group last night and everyone raved about the staff and the program. I hope you can switch because this process is hard enough with a great bariatric team and support system. The last thing you need is staff members making you uncomfortable this early in the process.
