Well done. Contrary to some opinions, there are still a lot of us about!
Highest 290, Banded - 248 Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.
Happily banded since May 2006. Regain of 28lbs 2013-14. ALL GONE!
But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,
I had LAP-BAND surgery on February 9, 2012 in Boston MA. I have lost 100 lbs. and am 8 pounds away from my personal goal. Per medical guidelines, I will be 16 lbs. over weight, BUT I know if I were to lose more than the additional 8 lbs I want to lose I would become anorexic. I already were between a size 8 - 10!

I've had two bands and a sleeve ( I went into surgery knowing I was going to have my band removed but I woke up with a surprise sleeve. Apparently my band had eroded and they had no choice but to convert me over to the sleeve. I've had three c-sections as well as the two band surgeries and I can tell you first hand that healing from lapband surgery was by far the worst oain.

10 years WOW!! I have been banded for 6 months and lost 60lbs in the first 19 weeks. It's good to hear long term success.
