Guest guest Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Patty, Were people able to understand what you said before the OS cut your bands. I am 2 days behind you post-op and will see my OS friday and have my X-Ray done tomorrow. But until now noone has been able to understand what I say. So I user exaggerated gestures and my notpad. I'm wondering am I the only one who cannot talk with the bands? Namrita. > > > > > > > Went to my OS today. He cut the bands, took out the > > split and asked me > > to open my mouth. OUCH!
