l&d hospital wards

[cancerian02]

hi everyone, could you tell me, what are the wards like in l&d hospital, for wls patients. do you go on a general ward or do they have their own obesity ward. what are the facilities like and are the loos and showers clean? im sure they are, but i have a thing about using general public bathroom facilities. thanks

You will be put in hdu probably then moved to ward 22. There are public toilets and shower rooms on both, no luxury like obesity wards.

You will be just fine though, your in great hands.

I went straight to ward 22 no HDU for me, it was clean they do have extra wide chairs and commodes if needed. I found the bed comfortable as you can put it any position you want for comfort

ooh thanks, but what is hdu? and ward 22, seems mostly used. is it a mixed (sexes) ward and how many beds are there? thanks again. just being curious as ive never stayed in a hospital before.

HDU - high dependancy unit.
Ward 22 has bays of 6 beds and each bay has single sex in it.

I went straight to ward too no hdu for me, I was only there for 1 day and was then transferred to a private hospital because they needed the beds on the ward so I didn't complain I got my own private room with bathroom, but I wouldn't have had a problem staying on the ward the staff were very friendly and helpful

Yeah great thanks, struggling to get enough protein and cals in each day, but lots of people are now commenting on how much smaller I am

How are you doing?
