cshoe12164 7 Posted August 4, 2012 Im getting my band on Monday aug 6th. Happy cant wait. But I will be the first for my Dr. I'm fine with that because now we have someone in our town that can help. But he only understands the books. I have learned so much on here I didn't know and I'm thankful for it. Thank you all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SageTracey 608 Posted August 4, 2012 I assume you mean you will be the first for your GP rather than your surgeon? I think I am the first for my GP. She has been really supportive but I am sure she has learned more from me about the band, living with the band etc than I have from her! That's why it is so important to maintain an ongoing relationship with my surgeon. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's got to be cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
