@chelly If this was a one-off problem, you shouldn't experience it again. I do understand your hesitation and concern, since these products should alw...

@lynne Similar experience. It's a bigger deal in our heads than it tends to be in real life. I would let the TSA agent know of my appliance before ...

That really sucks :( I'm sorry that you had to go through that, @chelly. Is the Velcro actually coming off or pulling free while you wear the applia...

Yes, i did it all myself. The first few days were the most difficult, simply because of pain and the inability to really move anything on my left arm....

That's a frustrating situation, especially when there aren't any obvious changes that could explain things. Chelly and John asked some good question...
