Just had mine done 11-04. So far so good. I was up and walking the same day and felt pretty good. One night stay at the hospital. I have been walking around my block and haven't needed pain meds.
I had my band done on 11-04-2010 at the Lahey Clinic. So far so good. Haven't needed pain meds and all the plumbing is still working. I just have to get used to the idea of having a band inside.
