I was banded 3-25-02 and was back to my normal life 100% in about five days. I made it to goal (170) in six months. I have continued to lose and now weigh less than 155 and wear a size 6 (I'm 5'8"). Just like the other surgeries it's a tool not magic, but I love this particular tool. I've had no complications and feel great. Check out my profile or write me if you have questions.
