"Although, this was a German speaking establishment...I was able to convey my message and the staff was very accomodating. The only problem is the whole privacy issue. It isn't like the states where you are given as much privacy as you need. There is no locks on doors and you share a room without dividers. Put it this way...they shaved me...ahem...with my German roommate looking on and the room door unlocked."
"Prof. Dr. Weiner is a very caring surgeon. I felt like I was in very capable hands, seeing as how he is one of the pioneers of laparascopic surgery. He is so father figure like. When I finally got to feeling better, he gently stroked my face and made me feel like it was going to be alright. I know anyone who is considering surgery would be pleased with Prof. Dr. Weiner! rnI started out at 310lbs and am currently 226lbs. (5 months post-op)."
