Hello, all.  After struggling with weight my whole life, I reached my all time recorded weight of 263 pounds in March of 2007.  I suspect my weight topped 270 at some point.  I was banded May 25 of 2007, and have lost slowly and steadily since then.  I feel and look so much better and look forward to continuing my loss and improving my health. I lost a sister to RNY but only after she lived 20 years with devastating complications, so technically her death isn't attributed to WLS. I waited to have my surgery until my daughter was grown and I knew that she would be OK, just in case.  My surgeon was carefully chosen and is banded himself, and has a very casual approach to weight loss with the band.  He is the best around as a surgeon, so I felt very comfortable that I would be fine, and so far, not a single problem.
