Hey Sunflower,
I just had my surgery September 15th 2011 at Rockland MD Surgery Center, by Dr. Pierre-Yves Garneau. I really did like the experience, but I sadly had a complication. Everything went well, the wounds healed well. But 3 weeks after the surgery, I had a complication. My body is rejecting the tube linking the band to the port is getting out by one of the wound. So I just had another surgery 2 days ago to remove the infected part of the tube, by the same doctor.
I am REALLY hoping that I will not lose my band because of that complication... Right now I just removed the band aid that was on it.. and I am worried that it's not as healed as it should be.
Hopefully everything will be okay soon....
