Hi Jennifer.
I live close to Rochester and had my surgery in July 2013 at Olmsted Medical Center. We have a great support group to help us along the way. We meet once a month in the evenings. New people up to 4 years banded.
The main reason I have my band was that I had lost a lot of weight several times and it always came back. With the band, I am hoping that won't happen.
Have you been back to get a fill?
