  2. Hi,I'm new to the site. I'm hoping to get banded by Dr. Ortiz next month, but I was just wondering if anyone went alone, and how you did after the surgery by yourself? As of right now, my husband isn't able to get off of work, so I'll be going at it alone. Was anything more difficult for you after the surgery? Changing? Showering? the Plane ride? Carrying luggage? Any info or advice helps, Thanks
