Well, tomorrow is the day for me. I go in to Dr. Benevides tomorrow morning at 9:30. I'm off to try and sleep tonight - although a little nervous/excited!

Have gas-x and popsicles ready thanks to a couple of you out there! The doctor said he was going to try and use a small band on me because it had a smaller port and would keep it from showing when I lost weight (I'm really short AND short waisted). He wouldn't know if he would be able to use the smaller band until he got in there and looked around though. Anyone know the difference between "small" and "large" bands besides the smaller port? Anyway - wish me luck! Thanks again for all the info shared on this site.

Kim Good luck with getting banded tomorrow!!! Can't answer your question on the smaler band hope some one here can help you out on that ...but I'm sure your dr will know best!!! I'm sending good vibes and prayers your way for a speedy recovery!!! Welcome to band land!!!

good luck with your banding. i'll be praying for you. keep us posted!

:nervous good luck today!! You will be feeling great in no time. My doc told me the difference in the smaller band vs larger band is just the size- kind of like a belt, he said.
