I have never wrote anything so forgive the errors. I have to say a little something about my experience. As a older adult and never having surgery before, to say I was anxious is a understatement. And going to another country which I chose. Weight Loss Agents were exceptional.Walking me thru all the things leading up to surgery. Answering my numerous questions with always a friendly attitude. By the time I was ready for surgery, flights and pre op surgery they had gave me confidence. Called me at home to make sure I was ready. They will never know how much this meant. The Grand View Hospital is beautiful, I felt I was in a 5 star resort.The staff, from the driver to the nurses and Doctors walk you through everything. They were kind, informative, professional. I met others that were there for surgery and they felt as I that they were exceptional. I have been home for 5 days, have only taken 1 pain pill. Feel great and ready for my weight loss journey. Wish I had known about this 20 years ago. Cindy Mackey
