I'm just curious. Can people share what they know now AFTER being banded that they wish they could have known before? And please, don't just focus on negative aspects. I'd like to know about any moments/details you never imagined that are now a part of your life. This can be positive or negative. Please be honest and share what you wished someone had told you or that you would have known before the banding. I'm looking for inspiration, but also some good levity and advice.
