Calling upon all Bandster...
And the Survey Says!!!
I need your help to do a very unofficial survey as a result of something I read today on the boards of OH. Can you please take a few minutes to do this for me.
I will compile my findings and let you know the results within a few days time. I will post them on OH's Lap Band Board and Main Board, And Facebooks OH Boards and If I'm feeling froggy, I may even paste it on Lap Band Talk..
Thanks for playing.
