This is a great idea to get some sense of how many of whom we have reading and participating here ate LBT. Thanks, Donali!!

Great idea Donali!!!! I'm happily banded for now.... I sure hope it stays that way. No complications here at all!!!! I love my band!!!

Glad to see this post. Please tell me though how you came to being diagnosed with errosion? I have read posts regarding having erroison, but nobody can tell me what caused it, how did you know it ectera. Please enlighten me as this is one fear for me.

This is a fabulous poll!!!! I think we see the issues some bandsters have (seriouss) and lose track of how many of us there are here. It is still a percentage.

Feeling skinnier everyday and loving my band!

Way to poll Donali!!!! Great One. Loving being banded but still scared with all these things lurking up recently. We all need to be aware of our bodies always:0)

Ditto to Christina.. good idea Donali!

I will be an offical bandster on 12/13! YAY!

Not banded yet. Have the 6 month wait for wls documentation. Impatiently awaiting BandlandRoberta

Based on the current numbers - we have a 5% unbanded rate. Hopefully, some more Banded folks will stop by and vote.

:]

I' clicked on the poll but it did'ent let me vote! (Not banded doing fine)

Hope every one is doing fine & losing weight.

I clicked on the pole. Banded 10/25/05 and loving it. I've lost 20 pounds and going for the next 5. No problems so far and hopefully won't have any.

I will be attending my seminar tomorrow 12/10. One more step complete. Getting ready for the bandwagon;-)

You should be aware that by including those individuals that have not been banded, the numbers become less meaningfull. There are a lot of people who are not banded and although it is important for them to participate in this site, their numbers should not impact the poll.

Only those individuals who have been banded should be counted, that way the poll would then be measuring, of those people who get bended the percentage that require removal.

Im banded by ortiz in November 05.

starting weight is 274

Now 247

Goal is 200

Maybe a moderater will help me do a permanent bottom thing on my posts with a cool (Guy) latter or something like that
