Hi.
The op I had was neither banding nor stapled. Not sure why the pain was so minimal, but one thing that helped was that I was so elated to have finally done it. The other part was that the surgeon is really good, caring and came highly recommended.
You have some time before your op, so use it to speak to people about who they would recommend.
Over the past few years, talking openly about my issues, it has become evident that like 80% of the people around me have had 'bum stuff' going on. Shocking statistic but very helpful in figuring out a plan of action. This is no more embarrassing than a sprained ankle!
So while a bit of fear is healthy, do not let it take over and just get on with gathering as much info as you can, then set out to sort it out with pure determination!
Wishing you much strength!
