Guest guest Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 I just wanted to thank everyone that has responded to my post. I truly am overwhelmed by the response. I hope those that have raised a glass for me also have a drink for me, because I'm already on the Optifast! As part of my banding I wanted to let you all know that the surgeons DO know that some people struggle with their bands for no apparent reason. They admit that sometimes they just can't get the restriction right and are trying to figure out why. I had my stomach mapped this morning (sounds more exciting that it was) and it will again be mapped 6 or 12 months post banding. Whether I'm a " successful " bandit or not. The idea is to try and figure out the difference between a 'successful' banded stomach and those that struggle, whether it has any relationship to how food was processed originally, or the shape of the stomach or ... whatever they can find. Here is hoping that there is hope and relief for those that have problems in the not too distant future. Pyretta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
