10 years ago I got fed up with being overweight. I was 25 and about 300 pounds. I went to Dr. Aceves and had a lap-band put in. I barely lost anything while my friend dropped 100 pounds in 9 months. I had constant pain when I ate, no matter how little or how much. But I lost a total of 70 pounds in about 5 years and busted my butt to keep it off. I was finally at 220 when my tube came off my port. I was in massive pain for about a year. Could not run, had about $4K in testing to find out why I had stomach pain and finally from pain and stress I put back on 40 pounds. I am now at 260 and gearing up for a revision to a sleeve.
