Huntington Memorial Hospital (COE)
"The rooms for bariatric patients are among the best I have seen. The surgical wing is 2 1/2 years old, the rooms are very big and very private. The care for the most part was absolutely wonderful although I did have one nurse who definitely needed a refresher course in TLC. I guess there is one bad apple in every bushel. "

Wes J. Powell
"Dr. Powell is the third surgeon I have seen. Wasn't comfortable with surgeon one because of his lack of lap experience. Surgeon two was not board certified and I didn't really care for the hospital he practiced at. I must say that I feel completely comfortable with Dr. Powell doing the surgery. He has great experience in lap procedures and took extensive time during our appt. explaining the procedure in detail. He patterns his practice after Dr. Higa in Fresno who is one of the best. I was most impressed with his honesty and his sincere feelings about how this surgery is gratifying to see his patients lives change. I also love the fact that the surgery will take only about 1 1/2 hours, I go home after about 24 hours, and the hospital where he preforms the surgery has all private rooms. I'm sold and have a surgery date of July 8th. July 16, 2002 One week post surgery and I give Dr. Powell an A+. Being in the medical field I am a critic but he definitely deserves this grade. His surgical skills are incredible (2 hours for RNY plus removal badly diseased gallbladder). Very compassionate came to see me at the hospital sometimes 2 or 3 times a day. My post-op has been unremarkable and after one week I feel incredible with lots of energy and no pain. I am so happy I chose Dr. Powell for my surgeon."

"This stuff is great! As a new post-op after trying to gag down shakes it is just wonderful. I like the grape frost best seconded by the blue raspberry. "
