UMass Medical Center Bandsters

I'm curious if there are any other members going through the UMass in Worcester program.

A lot of the problems and complications I have read on the other threads have all been explained before I decided whether to band or bypass.

I wasn't aware of the Manometry test, which was just scheduled for me for the 14th of Feb. Is it annoying but no after affects, like they said?

      I thought it was next week, too. My husband got last minute tickets to the Red Sox game today, so I went there. We can try to hook up again in June.
