I had a large pile banded last week, with plans to do another large one next month. They used the CRH O'Regan System. After reading this page of horrific experiences I realize how lucky I am. The O'Regan system took about 5 minutes from the time my doctor walked in til he was walking out. There was some stinging initially and some aching in the area of the band, manageable with Advil. It actually feels better when I get up and move about (they warn you not to sit for more than 2 hours). Day 5 of recovery, still some aching which comes and goes. Lots of water intake and two servings per day of Metamucil, bowel movements are no problem. The only weird side effect was urination, it required great concentration to relax my muscles for the first few days, but everything has worked out OK. Highly recommend this technique.
