I was 280 Ibs and received Lapband on 3/27/08. Today I got on the scale and I am 180 that is 100 Ibs I can't believe it!! I started out in a size 24 now I am in a 14-16! I haven't had any problems except for some reflux but I would do it all again. I still have 35 more go the reach my goal. I will get there but it's a very so process.
