Jean McMillan 2,973 Posted May 15, 2012 Thank you so much for this post. I've been struggling since January and have had many stuck episodes lately. I'm finally going back to see my surgeon tomorrow after 5 months. I had my surgery in Oct 2011. I'm going to dig out all of the materials I was given when I was banded and reread them. Thanks again! Cyndy Cyndy, it never hurts to put yourself through a band refresher course! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2muchfun 8,927 Posted May 15, 2012 Jean, I agree about the refresher course. I sure wish I would have read your book "Bandwagon" before my surgery. I think I would have handled many of the problems and concerns that I had shortly after surgery when I entered bandster hell and stayed there for nearly 4 months. Reading the book now, I'm not sure I would have really understood many of the challenges I was about to face. But it's so good to be able to read now and understand. Many "aha" moments! tmf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's hard to keep it all straight at first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
