Theresa, after all of the tests, etc. I had an endoscopy (if that is what you are calling an upper GI). Every doctor has different requirments. I had my lap-band procedure done in the morning and was home by 5 p.m. "My name is Ruth Rowe I have the Realize Band and yes it can be done as out Patient Mine was done late in the Day as I had My the time I was 68 years old I am losing weight slow but hay We didn't gain weight overnight" Ruth, you are so right! I'm 60 in 2 weeks and it took me 55 years to put this on. I am due for a fill next week and can use it.. I think I'm eating a bit too much! LOL Lin in Watertown NY
