Eating in College and More Support!
Well as I have personally never known anybody my age or in college who was banded I really didn't know how that would effect my overall banding experience. I feel like there has already been some challenges in the short time I have been back to school.
I wish that I had informed the nurses at campus health previous to getting surgery because I spoke with them for the first time today and they were extremely helpful and supportive.
The nurses on staff are helping me set up an appointment with themselves and the dining services nutritionist to make certain that the dining hall starts serving things that I specifically need to eat.
I am SOOO grateful to them for this because I have been having a very difficult time the past week trying to eat anything that is offered in the cafeteria. I have been mostly buying my own food and preparing it which was a waste of the meal plan that I am being forced to keep paying $2000 a semester for. Now that this issue is being dealt with I am relieve beyond belief. I guess we will see how the situations pans out.
It was also nice having the nursing staff on campus know about my band because they were extremely supportive and I find that nice to have support form a medical perspective while I am away at school. Both women were genuinely interested in the surgery and my personal experience, neither of them knowing exactly how the band works perviously. I was glad I went to visit them today and they encouraged me to stop by often and let them know my progress or just chat.
So overall today was mostly good heres hoping tomorrow is even better.
