I am so glad I logged on to this site. I do not know how to put my story on this site yet, but just reading your messges helps! I got my band 3 years ago. I just found out it has been broken from the start! I have lost 60 lbs. in the last 3 years just having the band in place.. I am 9 days out from surgery that fixed my band! I will get my first fill 6/12/08. I cannot wait to start my journy with the fills! Thanks for the support! Gina
