    Endoscopy's are fairly common for bandsters... Most band doctors recommend an endo every year after banding because that's the only way to make sure you don't have erosion. That said, I would imagine that an endo is a little trickier with a band, so make sure the tech has experience with banded stomachs.

    Lap just stands for laparoscopic (the method of placement, not the type of band). You can edit your signature by clicking on "quick links" at the top of the page. :)
