3 days and counting.

Well Friday is the big day. I have everything ready. I am nervous though. I've never been in a hospital and have never had surgery. I am heard mixed reviews about St. Raph's staff post op. I am a little scared. I made my boyfriend promise not to leave me the whole weekend. Any advice from previous preops.

Hello,I had my surgery December 30.St.Raphs was very short staffed being it was New Years,I did however get great care.The only advice I have is to make sure you walk.Good luck to you.Dr.Valin is the BEST!!!!!!! Tina -92 pounds in 5months.

Catherine, Congratulations to you and good luck. I was looking into the lap band as well. Please let us know how everything goes. Thanks, Joanne
