I had my surgery the same day as tink128. The only thing that was different for me was that I had a very vivid dream before I woke up in the recovery room. I am getting over the surgery very well, much better than I thought. My surgeon installed my band with nothing in it, as per Allergan's recommendations, so I have no restriction at all yet, just a little swelling that the radiologist saw at my swallow test. I was tickled pink that the surgical resident who checked up on me afterwards said I could sleep on either side. I was thinking I'd have to sleep on my back for weeks so I'm a happy camper. Mike

My wife uses them when she feels that something is slightly stuck. She chews on up to three of them, they have a pleasant taste, and it helps to move things along. So far when she's taken them she hasn't had to PB anything.
