Allbandedup 0 Posted June 30, 2013 Hi everyone! I've had the band for about a year and a half now and its hard to talk about it with family and friends because they don't seem to get the full depth of it. Don't get me wrong they are all very supportive but just can't relate to my eating ways and how slow I eat ahahah How's everyone dealing/coping with the band? Just wanted to chat to a few people who's going through the same thing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lellow 1,713 Posted July 1, 2013 I'm in the Eastern burbs of Melbourne and I got my original band in 2008 and a replacement band 2 months ago. Happy to chat with any fellow Victorians. I was originally from WA and made a few banded friends there so hoping to do the same here in Melbourne. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
