I believe my banding will be done internally, near the top of my stomach. If I wake up from the anesthesia and find out the doctor banded my right foot, there'll be hell to pay.

I had mine done on Monday here ion Waco, Texas Dr. Gayland Sims did mine. I am doing pretty good. I will tell you that I am in some pain and it feels like I have a knott in the middle of the chest but it comes and goes. I am on liquids as the manual calls for. I have a large incision across my belly and 4 more in other spots of my body. I think it will take me longer brfore I heal up
