[QUOTE="Farminlund, post: 66017, member: 1132"] I did the same with the cheerios bands & was most pleased with my accomplishment (working down 1 testicle at time). A couple of days later the sacks had grown to the size of huge grapefruit or pregnant softballs - calves seemed most distressed. I ran them back thru the chute after observing them for another day without seeing any improvement. Rebanded all with the surgical tubing system & crimped metal clamp - swelling went away in a few days. Just a note of caution - maybe things would have been ok had I done nothing, but I hated the way they looked (made me feel the pain). I now only use the cheerio band if both balls can fit thru together, otherwise it's the surgical tubing bander. [/QUOTE]
