The radiologist plays a key role in the early detection of complications and treatment of specific abnormalities. The following is an article which is submitted to FDA fro swedish band. There are numerous pictures to give you an idea for early detection of abnormalities.

Okay, as a Band-Newbie, but not a newbie to message boards, I'm having trouble understanding why this thread hasn't been deleted.

I have no idea why a person would post an initial thread like this, to ask for "advice", only to go along with whatever was already planned in their head anyway, then take issue with whomever disagreed with what was going on in their head. What would be the point?

This thread has no purpose. It causes nothing but the potential for confusion with new folk looking into being banded or having just been banded. I applaud those who made the futile attempt to find reason, sympathy, and understanding in a topic with neither.

At best, it was borderline offensive to women... if I cared enough to find it so. But it's hard to be offended by someone who appears to define deluded.

The first post pretty much said it all, and the conclusion I reached was that the poster was not a good candidate for the band, as the poster seems to be disregarding a person's responsibility in being banded. And the more I read, the more concerned I became that the poster was advocating dangerous and unadvisable practices to the uninformed, and I find that extremely inappropriate.

And I don't wish such irresponsibility luck; I wish sense. As in common. I hope you get some.

I'm going to suggest the removal of this thread to the Admins, and then I'm going to see if that "ignore" button actually works.

I just finished reading this thread, and I agree it's served its purpose. I'm going to lock it, but leave it up so anyone searching for information on doing one's own fills will find it.

Bottom line: DON'T do your own fills. Even the most qualified band professionals say they wouldn't do their own band adjustments, and that's excellent advice.
