Hi. I'm Tracy and I will be banded on the 16th. I am from the Philippines and I'm still in college. Classes will start on the 26th of May. I'm thinking of being absent for a week since only orientations and other little things happen on the first week to have more time to recover. Any tips? I'm excited as hell! I went to the grocery a while ago and got myself a month's supply of soups, yogurts, crackers, milks and juices. Any tips? What should I bring along with me to the hospital? coz I'll be staying for 3-4 days? My doctor will not release me if I'm feeling back to normal.
