Has anyone out there had to have their band placed surgically instead of laparoscopicly? I may have to have mine done surgically due to scar tissue from a previous surgery. Just wondering how long you were in the hosp and how long you were out of work. Oh yeah and the pain level. thanks

Thanks to all that responded, It helps me greatly. It is the choice I was leaning towards. Its just hard to face the facts sometimes and the temptations. Thanks again

Hi, I've recently started my journey to be banded, Had my first round of Doctors appointments this week, and I am very excited to get banned. My dilema is, Do i get banned before or after the holidays? Am I going to have the will power to stay away from all the food that is associated with that time of year. Has anyone been band around the holiday season,and did you wish you waited till they were over. I think I want to do it as soon as possible but am afraid of being miserable for the holiday season. :help:
