I,m not sure how much weight i will loose, but I gave myself two years to reach my goal. My surgery for the band was in jan 07. I weighted 360 to start by June 07, I was at 275,in april 08 after taking some time off my diet i weighed 265 only lousing 15 lbs in almost a year. I started back on my goal and by June i was down to 235 . progress was put on hold in June after a fall breaking my left shoulder leaving me unable to exercise. weight is maintaining, after my next fill in Sept. and getting back to work and a exercise program, I hope to make 200lbs.by Jan 09

I've been on a CPAP for twelve years and getting used to the mask took some getting used to. My setting was at 14psi after losing 100 lbs with the band my pressures is down to 5psi. I hope that some day when I get to my goal weight, I can stop using the machine.

Hi my name is Will, I just found this forum on a search. i was looking for some information on a medication and a lap-band. and found this forum handy. I was approaching my mid forties and my health began to decline. and I was afraid I was going to lose the ability to do the things I love to do, I'm an avid outdoors man. I had my band placed in January of 06. At the time I started looking into controlling my weight (after all the diets) I weighted 360 lbs. the band was the best thing i ever did for myself. i set a goal for my self of 200lbs. i currently weigh 235 not far for from my goal. I will try to keep up with this forum to see how others are doing and let others know how I'm doing I live in rural Illinois and going to support groups is tough with the price of gas. I wish I had found this earlier.
