I chose Pompeii after two friends raved about the place, if you can get the celebrity room (see pic) with a private condo to yourself. The celebrity room was amazing, private & very comfortable. The nursing staff was more attentive than any hospital I have ever been to. The surgery was quick, painless & recovery was a cake walk! Your accompanied guest will love like my wife did the gourmet breakfast, lunch & dinner available at the surgical center. I recommend anyone who is debating... pull the trigger & change your life. I went in at 295 lbs., 6 weeks later I am 239 lbs. and dropping. My sister is now booked for her surgery at Pompeii! If you get it tell them R. Andrade referred ya!
