Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center

"All the staff was very nice and I was very comfortable here"

"I will be meeting with Dr. Barba for the first time on 11/16/2004. I am hoping all goes well and hope he will let me have the lap band surgery. I met with Dr. Barba 11/16/2004 and he set a date for me for 2/10/2005. I wanted surgery on a Thursday as I have school on Wednesday nights and cant miss a class. He gave me the first Thursday he had available. He was very nice but he was running late. He had been at a meeting in the hospital which ran over. He was willing to answer any questions I did have I just didnt want to keep him to long. I was approved my insurance, Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield and am scheduled for surgery 2/10. I had an endoscopy at St. Francis. It was a breeze. I am assuming there are no problems. I have pre surgery appointment with the lap band group for February. The appointment is scheduled for 3 hrs on 1/26. I am getting closer to my date and and cant wait. I have been ill though with an upper respiratory infection that kicked in my asthma. I am on steriods and am hoping to be weaned off of the before surgery. I actually just woke up really early and think I am feeling better this am. Thank God. I dont want anything to push this surgery off. I have to get it over with."
