Roll Call: Swedish Bandsters

Hello, I am to be banded with the Swedish band, Go-Willing!
Of course most of the bandsters here are lapbands. Do you find it difficult to relate to them or is everything basically the same. If you were banded abroad (well outside of U.S) and most of the bansters in your area are Swedish bands, do you hear of the same rate of complications that we hear of here (LBT)(erosions,slips, port infections, etc).
Also, to reach your 'sweet spot' is it easier or about the same. Are the fills more agressive since the band is bigger.
If there is anything that you think is unique about the Swedish band please tell me. Heck tell me if you love or hate your band and why.
Looking forward to reading your responses.
