"This was my first experience in a US hospital. The care and facilities met my expectations. I just wish the nurses were more prompt with my pain medication. Even with with earplugs, I had trouble getting any sleep or rest in hospital."
"Dr. L was not a flashy guy ... just down-to-earth and straight-forward about the surgery. He has specialized in the Duodenal Switch and is a big believer in this specific operation. I feel comfortable knowing he will be my surgeon. Looking forward to surgery day!
FYI, I've learned that Dr. L has lost three patients in all his years of surgery. That means his death rate is about 0.5%, well below the average among surgeons performing the open DS."
