"The day and early evening staff were wonderful. The night staff was very short handed and a little sort tempered. But I was never left alone for too long when I needed help. I was never in any danger. The nurses were excellent in taking care of me, even with some complications. I couldn't have asked for better care! Even though the Ft Wayne surgeries are now done at Lutheran Hospital, I would not hesitate the least bit to go to St. Joe for other medical care."
"Dr Sloan is a very talented and highly respected surgeon. He is known as the \"Top Gun\" of surgeons in Indiana. I was his 33rd RNY patient (I think). He was wonderfully attentive when I had a few complications and my hospital stay went from the planned 3 days, to 5. He is a very busy man (but I guess that's a sign of his success) and sometimes my follow-up visits are behind schedule. The staff at Lutheran Weight Management are great people. Although it always seems to be a hectic place and I felt a little lost in the crowd, but I learned it's up to me to speak up! The pre-op classes are SUPERB. They cover everything from mental health, to nutrition and exercise, to whatever you want to talk about. The post-op classes are equally good. Again, any thing they don't cover, just ask and they will."
