Hi all! I am considering having the BIB. Can anyone tell me his or her experience with this? I know this is the non-surgical forum, and I don't know if I'm posting on the correct message board, but I have learned that the BIB is considered non-surgical. Please advise. Thanks!!

I googled it, so I can at least say I know what you are talking about, but have absolutely no experience with it. Not even a friend-of-a-friend-of-a-second-cousin type story. Sorry. Looks interesting, but definitely short-term.
