Just wondering a couple of things, how many bandsters with no fills and either close to goal or to goal like I am.
Second question, just reading on forum daily for last 22 months and it just seems to me that the only bands that have slipped are the ones that have been filled and unfilled over a period of time. Just curious if the "non-filled" bands will or won't slip over time. I worry all the time on my band slipping because it has been a life saver for me health wise getting me off of so many meds and able to move around with little to no pain. I don't know how I would pay to have a slip fixed if insurance won't cover it, any info would be appreciated on this.
