    "This forum is dedicated to veteran Bandsters who are six or more months post-op, to discuss issues specific to those who are further along in their Lap Band journey. You must have 100 posts in order to post here."

    Thank you for your service, B-52. Were you in the Air Force? My DH is a Vietnam era vet.
