Hello, just found this site and it is really interesting to read about other peoples experiences on here. I live in the uk and had my Lap Band fitted 18 months ago and it was the best decision i have ever made in my life.My starting weight was 268 pounds, and i now weigh 175 pounds I have lost 93 pound and i have exceeded there target. I have a lot of loose skin remaing and i now need a tummy tuck 2 remove that.:Banane10:
