healthy and happy 64 Posted September 5, 2011 Congratulations!! Just do what the doc says and I will tell you in advance, Be ready to get up and walk, walk, walk. It will really make your recovery so much easier. I was banded 4 weeks ago and I am really happy I did it. It sounds like you have your head in the right place and are excited, so I am sure you will be happy too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
