new to boards, will be banded 5/08/07

I will be getting my lap - band on may 8, 2007 and would like to know if anyone from lower Delaware went to the Salisbury Bariatric Center (which is where i'm going).I will be getting my surgery done in Penninsula Hospital by Dr. Sofronski and would like to know how he is as a follow up Dr., also I'm getting a little nervous, I've never been put to sleep before!Appreciate any feedback - God Bless !!!

Good luck on your new journey Bessie. Sorry I don't know anyone that has used that center. I bet you have done your research on the place and you are in good hands. Debbie

Everyone (believe me) has anxiety about being put to sleep, even me. That being said I am A Manager of Laproscopic Surgery working in a operating room on a daily basis. I was scared to death, maybe because I ''know'' what was going to happen. I have had the Greatest Surgical Staff and I really admire their Professionalism. I am not ware of the Surgeon that you have choosen but feel confident in the surgical staff as they are Professionals. By the way, even with complications the Lap Band Surgery was a great choice for me................Blessings...........Sharon

sharon - THANKS, I guess i am just having the same jitters everyone get, but i'm also really excited and SO ready for the change!thanks again.....................Bessie

Good Luck and let us know how you're doing. I love my lap-band, although I got it VIA Dr. Irgau & the CHRIAS team in New Castle County. Love & peace, Fran
