Guest Bunhead Posted September 20, 2004 Hello Everyone, I'm another 'newbie' bandster. I had my surgery last Tuesday, Sept. 14. Someone at our doctor's support group meeting told me about this website and I thought I'd check it out today. Right away, I saw you all address a problem I had yesterday---I swallowed some gum by mistake! So, already, I'm learning from you guys! You all sound like a great bunch of people and I hope to talk to you soon. Fran (aka 'Bunhead') Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
