Hi Stacy, welcome to LBT. There are a lot of folks on LBT that hail from Texas. Some of the best ones here, in my opinion. Check out the place, ask lots of questions, this is a wonderful place to learn about the band. Here are a few links that will get ya started:

Surgery Video and Q&A:

This is a recorded Web Cast of a LapBand surgery. The surgeons provide a lot of basic information and answer a LOT of questions from the viewers. The videos shows the placement of the lapbad via laproscopic camera and also shows the positioning and attachment of the port. It's not gorey at all, but it is surgery so watch with caution:
