Hi there. Welcome to the boards. I cant help you yet but I might have to ask you for help one day. Somthing my surgeon told me on my consult I thought I would share with you on the banding.
He stated he used to do the banding procedures back in the 80's before they had all the evidence they do not not to do that procedure no more. He stated the new Lap Band they do now is almost the same exact thing and he feels will cause trouble in the long run. He refuses to perform it. I have to ask did you ever see that thing before you had it done or hold it in your hands. Bless your heart. You know you have to got through alot with a Lap Band. Much more than with The Gastric Bypass option. Im sure your gonna do great. On these Angels on this site will help you so much. Please stay around.

Hope all went well with your surgery. I don't know much about the band, but I wanted the most permenant solution so I sought out the RNY. So far, my experience has been great.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Jody
