Tranny Adjustments?

I am sure this question has come up before, but here goes again.
I noticed in the owners manual that it calls for draining the tranny, changing the filter and adjusting the bands. I have had the this done twice, but I have yet to have anyone tell me that they have adjusted the bands, or that there were any to adjust! The truck has 76K on her and I have not noticed any unusal tranny functions. But I am getting ready to have the service done again and wanted to know if I should mention about adjusting the bands??
