You should be aware that by including those individuals that have not been banded, the numbers become less meaningfull.

I am aware that the auto-percentages the poll calculates is not the percentage of removed bands vs banded. However, since the poll shows the actual numbers of each option, including the non-banded people in the poll doesn't negatively affect the results of the poll at all. It's a simple math equation using only the number of unbanded people divided by the number of banded people.

This way everyone gets to participate, and I still get the information I'm looking for, and we get a vague idea of total ACTIVE members. A very vague idea, since not everyone will be moved to vote. Then again, if someone just can't be moved to vote, perhaps they're not really that "active" on this site.

As of this post, there are 149 people voted as banded, and 7 people voted as unbanded. This gives us a percentage of 4.7 percent unbanded.

The real problem is that I didn't differentiate between WHY people were unbanded, so I'm not getting the erosion percentage, which is kind of what I was looking for. But this will do for now.

Glitter, you did right. I'm looking for responses to banded, was banded but had it removed, and not yet/never been banded.

I wish I had broken the band removed category up into subcategories, but that can always be another post... :rolleyes:

I attended the seminar in November, met with the therapist today, and need to get referral letter from my Dr. I don't have a date scheduled to be banded, and have not been approved yet. But I'm feeling very positive and believe I'll be banded by February.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
