"Gastric band removal. Terrible care"

About: Queen Alexandra Hospital

After going into harbour suit for day surgery my aftercare was terriable, I ended up being extremely ill and had septis . Whilst in the care some of the nurses were lovely a couple not I heard one saying this was the person in charge well if they'd just calm down we wouldn't have this problem another nurse scolded me for speaking to my mum and crying.

I was having temperatures of 40 plus and on more than one occasion was not washed my sister did it one day as I was left until 4 o'clock.

I hav a catheter fitted and it leaked twice and the urine was not cleaned up properly it was all under the bed also had blood left on my sheets after having a candela changed

I was not informed of being charged extra money and was transferred to high dependency ward on nhs which was great. Two weeks after arriving home I got charged another hefty bill which until this day I don't know what it was for as I was told I'd now be on nhs.

My wounds still haven't healed now and still very poorly I went in on 30 th :December I feel I been left in a terriable state
