I travelled down to Leeds from Edinburgh to have a gastric band fitted.
I chose the hospital group as I felt they listened to what I wanted done. I had seen a team of bariatric nurses and a consultant in Edinburgh and was advised that gastric bands were not done anymore and that I would need a sleeve.
I therefore chose to travel to Leeds as I felt they were far the better option.
My surgery went well and the surgeon did a excellent job.
I was not happy with the heat in my room . It was worse than unbearable. There was no air con as expected. I was extremely uncomfortable even with a fan blowing in my face. The windows are sealed units .
I complained to the nurses several times but nothing was done . I have never had an issue with such uncomfortable conditions in an NHS hospital and I expect that being a private patient to have a comfortable temperature to recover. As I am paying a lot of money for surgery in a private hospital I find it appalling that the air con is non existent.
"Air con ?"
