@michaelswaim My GI doc would never do 9 bands at one time. The most i had at a time was 4, and only becsuse the 4th was away from the others. Some of my banding recoveries hurt more than others, not dependent on number done. I am now 18 months post transplant. How is your current health?

@amyintucson @michaelswaim I guess I was just very fortunate, I never had to have bands done. My pre-transplant time was pretty much without problems except for dreaded HE episodes. Thankfully mine were distinct and somewhat predictable. The rest of the time I was totally lucid and cognizant.
