Thank you rjtrimmer and restlessmonkey for your input. I suppose just like you probably were, I am a little apprehensive about the after effects of the surgery. Has the adjustment been bearable?

Jeanette, since you are using the same Dr.'s I am thinking of using, how was your overall experience with pre-op and post-op? When did you get banded?

Restlessmonkey, do you mind me asking how much your surgery cost and when you had it done? I had thought about checking out NE Baptist as well, but have yet to do so.

I would like to get the surgery done by the end of the year, if possible. Thanks for all your help in this decision making process.
