Important! Make a YT Video About Your Failed Band

[formerlyfluffy]

In an effort to get more attention brought to the issue of failed bands and the damage they cause, I am asking all of you with failed bands to make a YouTube video about your band experience.

Please go into detail:

• When it was placed
  
• Type of band
  
• When complications started occurring
  
• What complications
  
• Did you ever reach restriction
  
• If so how long did it take
  
• Amount lost
  
• Was this lost b/c of band complications like throwing up or only able to eat soft food?
  
• How much regained
  
• Starting and ending BMI
  
• Was band removed
  
• Did you revise (If so to what)
  
• Any additional damage the surgeon found when he was removing the band
  
• Do you now have permanant damage from the band?
  
• And most importantly, please describe the emotional toll this took on you and your family
  

After you post these videos please send the link to them to me:

I want to post all of them on a website that will be for band complications. There is strength in numbers, so please pass this info along to anyone you know that has a failed band!

I'd love to help, but I don't feel comfortable making a video. Maybe there could be an area for those of us who would rather write our answers? Just an idea for you to consider.
