I am planning on having the lap band. It will take six months before they do anything. At this point I am having all these test done. I had the stomach one that you have to drink all of the crap. Now they want me to have the other stomach where the use the tube to go in your throat. They said I had inflammation in my stomach. Is this normal to have inflammation or do you think there is something else they are looking for. I am a nervous wreck. I am nervous about EVERYTHING. I recently quit smoking because that was one of the requirements, that you are not a smoker. I hope I can go through with this and if you have GERD or acid reflex or ulcers, can they still do the lap banding?
