This post is not for a newbie.

The band was my first choice , but I really didn't have a choice. When I first had the first band, it worked wonderfully & I thought all those who ctiticized the band were crazy. I am stuck with the band because he refused to do any other surgery because of my age.  I can't afford to go abroad. I will see what Dr B says on Monday.
Nice to hear from you. Keep in touch.
