Banding Tomorrow - Sleepless Tonight! :-)

[Kim_8 2]

Well, tomorrow is the day for me. I go in to Dr. Benevides tomorrow morning at 9:30. I'm off to try and sleep tonight - although a little nervous/excited!

Have gas-x and popsicles ready thanks to a couple of you out there! The doctor said he was going to try and use a small band on me because it had a smaller port and would keep it from showing when I lost weight (I'm really short AND short waisted). He wouldn't know if he would be able to use the smaller band until he got in there and looked around though. Anyone know the difference between "small" and "large" bands besides the smaller port? Anyway - wish me luck! Thanks again for all the info shared on this site.
