Thread Starter  

Megan, that is great to know!

Jode 2cc sounds good to me. Congrats on your pregnancy! How long do u plan on staying filled?

Hi, Megan,
I am scheduled for Lap Band surgery in about a month. I need to choose between the J & J band and Inamed. Now that more time has passed, what would your recommendation be?

Thanks so much - Mary M

Hi there,
Was banded October 25 in Mexico, had the new J&J Band. Dr.'s there believe with the J&J there will be more options in the US for aftercare. The theory is Johnson and Johnson is a huge company that will train Dr., to do the proceedure. So far so good with mine. It was just approved in the US in Sept. and it's supposidly addressed some problems with the earlier bands. Good luck to you@!
