  8. I gag when I brush my teeth,I was banded this month.I think that is normal to 2nd guess what you are about to do.I went though the same thing.That is why this forum is so nice to have at hand,because there is always someone that feels the same as you do.I just try to keep postive thoughts about the future and how good I am going to feel about myself later....
