Re: Just discovered some info I wish I had known 4 years ago...

I agree, there is nothing to show this bone brusing was

1)identified by an MRI

2) any way related to the band years ago

Even any article I ever read against banding NEVER said anything

about this and only listed the negatives of banding as cost, time,

and peoples reactions. No doctor has ever even mentioned this to any

member on this board as far as I can see even to discourage them from

banding. I think it is a non issue and should not scare anyone from

banding.
