I just wanted to say how happy I am that I received the lap band. My surgery date was 8-19-08, and I have kept off 123 lbs. This was the best decision I could have made!! I run now for the first time in my life, and am training for a 1/2 marathon. I never dreamed in a million years that I would have such an active lifestyle!!

So happy for you, great job!

I am a little over a year out down 80.6 hoping to do most of a half marathon on Sunday!

Damn, I admire people who can run!

My knees are so shot to sh*t that I can barely walk fast. Arthritis is the only comorbidity that my surgery didn't fix!

Banded 10 years & maintaining my weight loss!! Any questions, message me.

Nice to hear from another successful bandster! Congrats on your weight loss and exercise. I am almost 4 years out and starting to work my band again. I lost 80 LBS and kept it off for 3 1/2 years, I just had a fill a couple of months ago and are almost down another 20 LBS so I am still working my band and I have 2 pounds to go to reach 100 LBS lost and 4 LBS to go to get to onderland hoping to get there by Labor Day.
