Wow thanks for all the information. There should be a forum just for the acronyms...lol.

Was the lapband surgery done via laporoscopy? What is the recovery period like?

I had the laproscopic RnY gastic bypass. I had a post-op complication though. I had a 2 liter blood loss. I bled into my upper gastric region which in turn collapsed my left lung and had to return to the O.R. the next morning after my origional surgery. I can't really comment on the pain because I had the complication. I had second surgery on Friday and went home Sunday. There was some pain on day 1-2 but by day 3 Tylenol handled the pain.
