Hi from Des Moines, Iowa

I am just a few days into my pre-op diet and am starting to get very nervous. I am a np in the ER and I sometimes get worried that I know too much about the actual procedure itself...if that makes sense. I am getting banded at Iowa Methodist on May 18th by Dr. Eibes. I have been very happy with his group in West DSM. If anyone out there is from Iowa, give me a shout!

    Seems like a good group of people. Hows the hospital staff ?

    The hospital staff was really great! I was pretty nauseated overnight and they even gave me aromatherapy to help.

    Just one night. I was able to drink fine by the following morning and was able to go home.
