Ok I am 1 month short of the two years out. I have had a barium check but not the camera scope. I have an appointment on the 9th and am going to talk to my doc about all this. I hate to say I have felt weird lately myself, lots of rumbly sounds and movement from my stomach area? I think you guys have a larger lurker audience than you know.

After all this is a relativly new procedure...no one really knows 5 or 10 years down the line, they can only guess.

I am not letting any of this deter me from loosing more weight or being happy about my decision to get banded in the first place, it saved my life. Best to all, Trish

No I was banded in USA.
