Hi there... the anticipation is over... I did it. everything went smoothly except I had to spend 2 nights in the hospital..my potassium was low. Also, had nausea but thanks to a very clever Resident who inquired about my caffein habits, recognized that the nausea and headache could be related to that so she ordered me a migraine medicine that had caffein in it and the difference was night and day. I was up and walking and able to come home yesterday. Every day I'm better and better. Thanks to this site, I feel I was prepared for this surgery!:tongue2:

Congrats Motivated. How exciting to be banded for the holidays. It is the best gift you can get.

Good luck!

Thanks... I'm excited can't wait till all of this is Really behind me!
