RE: I don't want to be one of those bandsters that is so tight they can barely get a cup of food at dinner down - that's not the way the band was meant to work
BINGO!!! YOU REALLY HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD HERE. I GET BANDED THIS NEXT WEEK, IT JUST SEEMS TO ME AFTER READING SO MUCH THE LAST 6 MONTHS, PEOPLE USE THE BAND AS A SURGERY INDUCED TYPE BULIMIA, THAT'S NOT THE WAY I WANT TO LIVE!!!
