You should be aware that by including those individuals that have not been banded, the numbers become less meaningfull.

I am aware that the auto-percentages the poll calculates is not the percentage of removed bands vs banded. However, since the poll shows the actual numbers of each option, including the non-banded people in the poll doesn't negatively affect the results of the poll at all. It's a simple math equation using only the number of unbanded people divided by the number of banded people.

This way everyone gets to participate, and I still get the information I'm looking for, and we get a vague idea of total ACTIVE members. A very vague idea, since not everyone will be moved to vote. Then again, if someone just can't be moved to vote, perhaps they're not really that "active" on this site.

As of this post, there are 149 people voted as banded, and 7 people voted as unbanded. This gives us a percentage of 4.7 percent unbanded.

The real problem is that I didn't differentiate between WHY people were unbanded, so I'm not getting the erosion percentage, which is kind of what I was looking for. But this will do for now.

Glitter, you did right. I'm looking for responses to banded, was banded but had it removed, and not yet/never been banded.

I wish I had broken the band removed category up into subcategories, but that can always be another post... :rolleyes:

I attended the seminar in November, met with the therapist today, and need to get referral letter from my Dr. I don't have a date scheduled to be banded, and have not been approved yet. But I'm feeling very positive and believe I'll be banded by February.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
