I got banded on 3-27-09 after 2 failed starts. I had a bad respiratory infection, and then my salivary gland swelled up!! But finally 3-27-09 was a success!!!! This is day 5, and doing great. I am on clear liquids still, I am having a hard time getting my routine meds down. I have to crush them and they are discusting with everything i take. No episodes of N/V. Hope all the March lap banders are doing great too!
