Ok. My names Carolyn. Im 26 and live in a small town in Illinois. I had a band put in two years ago, 2006, by a doctor who... apparently didnt know what he was doing. He not only messed up on my band but about 20 others as well, from what i gather from them and the practice he left. Anyway... my band slipped in 2007 and I had been fighting all the pains that come along with it. After it slipped tough... it was easy to fall back into the bad habbits. and i did.

I was really mad. Not only that my band had slipped but that no one wanted to do anything about it and couldnt get a hold of the doctor who did it.... AND that i was self pay... so i paid out of pocket 15,000 to get this done... and it quit working... need less to say i was PISSED!!!

ANYWHO.... i worked with the same pracitce but a different doctor, becasue mine had moved to chicago..but i hear now hes in PA.... anyway... my doctor now is a great man. And has really helped me out a lot.

I got rebanded the day before my 26th birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!! lol...October 28th 2008 is my 2nd chance.
