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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
