Here are some comments and extracts of letters of patients who came to Min-Sheng General Hospital for bariatric surgery
“Having been in the hospital business myself in America, I’d say that this (Min-Sheng) hospital is comparable if not better than the ones I’ve been involved with in America. The medical staff is superb, the nursing staff is superb. There is a great deal of care, attention, and follow through.
I would recommend this hospital and medical staff to any person who wants to have this type of surgery”.

“I came to Min-Sheng Hospital because I’d done some research about weight loss surgery, and I often came across references to the work of Professor Lee Wei-Jei and his team.
The hospital is great, the staff is very friendly and communication was never a problem.
I would definitely not get this level of care at this price in my own country.”

“Back home I was a on a waiting list for this type of surgery. I heard about Min-Sheng Hospital and its reputation regarding weight loss surgery…I decided to have it done immediately there.
Service is very professional in all ways. The facilities are great and they give you the feeling of being a guest not just a number. They really take the time to make sure that everything is fine with you!”

“I am very thankful for a competent, encouraging, positive doctor. Thank you so much for all the great care!
I appreciate William’s sensitivity to helping or disappearing, as the occasion demanded. Thanks!”

“Hello Min-Sheng Hospital:
I wanted to tell you how very impressed I was with the Min-Sheng hospital and the whole process we had.
Just for your information I am a Quality Assurance Manager by profession.
I am certified by the American Society of Quality as a CQA (certified Quality auditor) and CQ Mgr. (Certified Quality Manager), so I have some experience observing and judging processes and looking for quality issues.
The Min-Sheng hospital staff was very friendly and efficient in accommodations of my late arrival, (flight issues). They had all the testing and paperwork done in record time. They also took care of my every need during my stay.
William was terrific in organizing and making us feel welcome and helping my wife to relax and understand the process better. We even got to visit with some other patients who had already had the procedure. This helped my wife to be less stressed about the whole process.
Dr. Lee " the professor", was very helpful in helping us understand the entire process and letting us know what to expect. The surgery outcome was very good.
The surgery cut marks are so small I have a difficult time to find them.
On December 22, 2011, my weigh by my home scale was 295 lbs. On January 22, 2012 I weighed 255 lbs on that same scale. I had lost 40 lbs in one month. At this point I have had not one day of physical hunger. I have had some emotional urges that had to be suppressed, but this was not hard to do because of the lack of physical hunger.
I am now in stage III, trying to move from liquid food to eat mush consistency foods. This is a little difficult time. I have to learn what my body wants and understand how little it can actually hold. As of today I am now down to 250 lbs. A loss of 45 lbs. I am feeling good. I have good energy most of the time, but I know when I start to run low on energy.
Again, thanks for helping me start this new part of my life.
Thanks again”

“Hello William,
Things are good here, the weather has changed to fall and the leaves are beautiful in the mountains.
My health is excellent! I'm in good health and have just joined a health club to be able to exercise during the winter months. As of to date I've lost 36 lbs. I feel great, having no problems. Just another 60 lbs or so to go… but that will come, maybe sometime in January or February.
Hope all is well with you too. Around Christmas I will send a picture of myself. I will look quite different, as many can see the change already.”

“I'm doing great. My biggest challenge is remembering how little I can eat before I get full. I've lost about 13 kg so far and when the weather clears up here (we have had fog and rain non stop for the last two to three weeks) I hope to get back to walking around the track at school so it should speed up.
I want to say thanks again for all your help through all of this, and happy late New Year.”
Amanda P. (USA) Gastric bypass
“Hi William,
I am doing good. My health is good. I wish I could tell you that I lost a lot of weight, but I did not. I lost a little bit (I was at 250 lbs before the surgery and now I am at about 233). I think was at around 238 before I left Taiwan. I've had about 3 adjustments since I returned and now have about 9cc in the band. But, I attribute a slower weight loss that I expected more to myself then the lapband. I made some New Year resolutions to really work on my goal of losing weight. As you told me that even with the lapband it takes a bit of work to achieve the goal and I am now realizing this more and more. The good thing is that I feel I definitely eat more sensibly and it's hard to over eat (lol)... so that's a real big plus.
I also found a good Dr.here who has been working with me on my adjustments, so that's a big plus also. And my insurance covers these visits, so that's really good; otherwise it would be like $500 each time... :)”

“Hi William,
I’m pleased to say that I am well on the way to reaching my target weight. I’m down from 120 kgs to 91kgs. No major side effects except the following:
- - I must eat very slowly otherwise if I eat too quick I end up vomiting
- - Cut everything into small pieces
- - A few types of food such as bread, chips, potato’s and heavily fried stuff are difficult to eat and can cause nausea which goes away after a short while.
So basically my body says stop eating the rubbish, which is awesome and I’m extremely happy.
Please send my regards to Dr. Lee.
Kind regards.”
