Thanks kmt1973. I ended up from gallbladder with four surgeries due to call the organs blocked from stones, so I was hoping banding would be easy as a walk on the beach after the sheer heck last year was. Already look like a bad tic tac toe game now on my stomach so what's a few more marks? Still about six months from surgery so work won't have a cow about me being out again, but looking forward to getting this done and getting my life back.
