How long have you had your band and are you still happy?
Frank replied to Beka's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
4 years now. My wife and I had it done the same day. Our total weigh loss is 400lbs and we would do it again. We have had a lot of PBing and can't seem to find the perfect fill level or we just try to eat to much. I just added our photo album -

How much weight can you really lose? How fast?
Frank replied to BATassbandita?'s topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I lost 100lbs before surgery and I have lost 132lbs after surgery for a total of 232lbs. I've gone from 409 to 177. It has been over 5 years of weight loss and 3 1/2 since surgery. I,m a 6'3" male so I have lost all my excess weight, but it takes time. It took me 40 years to gain it so it is OK to take some time to loss it. -
It has been a long time since I've been on the board. With the weight loss life is to fun and busy to stop LOL. As of today Deb and I have lost a total of an amazing 400lbs. Deb have lost 168 and I have lost 232lbs. We have lost around 50lbs more than our first goals. Our fill is still tight. We many have to have some taken out if we lose any more. We are happy where we are at now. Deb has gone from a size 30 dress to a 8 and I have gone from a size 60 suit to a size 42 and 50 waist to a 32. This last picture was about 50lbs ago. Weight Loss

Oct 2004 I had surgery in Mexico. I am now down 191lbs and just went 2lbs below my goal weight of 220lbs. I could stand to lose more, but I'm excited. I am 6'3" and have gone from a 60 suit to a 44. My wife hit her goal several months ago. She has gone from a size 30 dress to a 10-12. She is beatiful, but she always was.

Frank replied to mommy2kyler's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
We went with Ready4achnge.com. Dr. Zapata is a great Doctor. I just took a friend for surgery and got a fill myself. They have a great team. Monterry is a great city to visit. -
