You'll be fine. I just was banded Monday 8/10. The surgery is smooth and swift and done in no time. I couldn't believe it. The only thing that gave me problems were the fancy panties. One size fits all, I put them on backwards just because. You do things differently sometimes when you're over 50. The Marriot is nice and staff is wonderful. Think positive and happy healthy future for you too. Oh, make sure Rene gives you accurate information on your pick up for departure. Was left waiting for over an hour to be picked up, driver was not called until 7 and our pick up time was 6:30 am, delayed at security, rushed, hence very sore when finally in seat on plane home. Travel frequently and thought that Rene's performance and services might be lacking. One low point isn't bad at all. Muffintop. :-h
