Lap Band and Heart Surgery

I had my Lap Band installed on 5/5/2010 and was scheduled for my first fill on 6/6. Unfortunately, I had chest pains on 5/28 and a triple bypass on 5/29 with 4 subsequent readmissions for Fluid on the heart and lungs. I have finished cardiac rehab and have had my Bumex adjusted and the bariatric surgeon has agreed to do my first fill tomorrow morning.

Has anyone had similar experiences and do you have any advice or suggestions?

My opinion is all should go well. I have been eating non-band normally, but am now ready for the band restrictions.
