Shayshay,

Scar tissue is not a problem for an experienced laparoscopic surgeon, don't worry!

You do have to have a general anesthetic though.

Inamed is the only band used in the US, I think you will have a hard time finding a US surgeon to help you take care of another type of band as no one in this country as any experience with the Swedish band...yet
