Hello, how are you doing? I am doing really well so far with the band. How long have you had the band? I got it February 27th 2013 in Richardson. I went for a fill & my provider wanted to wait for me to get a fill. My next appointment is May 20th. I wish I knew of some close support groups. I really like this site. Both of my parents & my brother have the band so I am always asking them questions. I hear for you if you want to talk. Why do you feel like you are a failure?
