well, I am done and home. I had a great experience at St Francis hospital. I have a lot to learn but things are going well.

Rockinrobyn, congrats on being banded. I too was banded @ St. Francis hospital in Federal way, WA. May 4th. Hope all is going well. I am feeling so much better today! welcome to bandland! and you band journey.

rockinrobyn do you mean st. francis in wilmington de ? i am to get banded may 15th and would love to hear more about your story

Yes, my surgery was @ St Francis in Wilmington. DR Irgau was my surgeon. It was a great experience. The staff was wonderful and the new wing is nice. It was the quietest wing in a hospital that I have ever seen or been in. Good luck. Who is your dr? I feel good, just tired, sore & hungry but better than expected. The hardest part so far is having energy to function with such little calories. I'll get thru it. This is the hardest month, I have been told.. Have you gotten your protien yet? Make sure you get the unflavored UNJURY. I have tried it in about 5 different soups. Just do not smell it and you will be fine. Once it is dissolved there is no flavor. Just do not put it in tomato soup-yuk. I have been making shakes/smoothies with sugar free ice cream & chocolate protein that I got at walmart-YUM. If you would like to talk, my name is Robyn & my number is 610-932-5825. Please call me. Good luck....

My Dr is Wynn. From what I have been reading they say that the protein shakes should help w/ the hunger. Is that true. i am scared about the first month on just liquids. I keep making lists of the things I can have. I have my own special shelf at home that no one is aloud to take anything off. Lol.
