I was banded january 15, 2010. Two plus years and 150 lb later I feel like a new person...my life has been saved. I excecise 1 hour a day and eat what I like. I dont weigh and measure but i try to eat healthy and keep the sweers to a treat before bed. Weigh myself daily and have 5 3/4 cc fill. Would love to hear from others and hear about what works and does not
