bamagirl386 0 Posted August 13, 2008 I was banded by Dr. Jawad 7/15 & am doing great. I live in Daytona Beach. Can I ask something personal? Where is your port site? I may have to get a port revision. Every day just gets easier...CONGRATS!:whatchutalkingabout Just found this site, fantastic! Banded 8/6/08 in Ocala by Dr. JawadStarted process 12/07.
