I'm so glad you posted the message regarding dealing with the stomach flu after being banded because I just thought of that scenario today and now have input from fellow bandsters. Thanks!
When I had my "moment of truth" that the lap band would change my entire life, I wailed because of the loss of my best friend food. When I think of not being able to eat what I want and having restrictions the lap band brings, I also hyperventilate. I'm so glad you are becoming comfortable with your decision to have the lap band.
