So many band horror stories. So many come on here when they are converting. Good luck with your decision.
Hope you are starting to feel better now. I did not have a drain. It is always weird to me that not everyone gets one.
Take before pics, measurements, and weight. Keep a log and retake the pics every 2 weeks post op. Wear a swimsuit, underwear, or a pair of biker shorts and make sure to always take pic in the same...
I had my surgery in the US so I am not sure. I know I would make sure that there are some pre op labs and tests run before getting any kind of surgery. Good luck.
