Guest guest Posted July 10, 2002 Report Share Posted July 10, 2002 Oh Dina I am SO sorry to hear the 2nd band didn't work for either....what a disappointment after all you've done to try to help. Have you considered using a DOCband? I'm totally sure you are so sick of it, but maybe they could help? Are you near any clinics? Hugs to you & a huge happy 1st bday with a bit early to sweet !

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2002 Report Share Posted July 10, 2002 Dina, I am so sorry to hear of the troubles you and have had with her bands. It really sounds like you hade a craptacular experience and I don't blame you one bit for taking the band for good! I think I would have done the same thing if I were in your shoes. I really hope that you stick with us and update us all on how is doing! Niki Kaylie & Danny (STAR grads) Phila., PA > Hi All, > > It's been awhile since I have posted.
