  1. Happy 48th Birthday Promises!

  2. 3 years has passed since you registered at LapBandTalk! Happy 3rd Anniversary Promises!

  3. Hi Promises. I've just begun to venture down this road and am very excited and scared at the same time. I'm glad to see that you have been successful so far and believe you will continue to be successful in the future. Have you encountered or heard of any band cases that have failed after 5-10 yrs? I'm hearing some people talk about this and it has me a little worried since I'm 42 and hopefully will still be around in 10 years. I do not want any problems from the band.

  4. Thanks for your encouraging post to my introduction!

  5. Good afternoon! I just joined LapBandTalk today, although I've been banded since August 2007. Unfortunately, I have not been as successful as I had originally hoped, and I got very discouraged. To date I have lost just under 40 pounds. One of the nurses that works with my surgeon encouraged me to join this forum for support since I find it difficult to attend the weekly support group meetings that they hold in my area. I am hoping that by becoming a part of this community, I can remember the excitement I once felt about starting a new phase of life, and doing the right thing for my health and well-being. Once I am able to, I hope to offer encouragement (quid pro quo) to others who are in my situation. I am a 43 year old wife and mother of an autistic 11 year old. Overweight my entire life, I weighed almost 250 pounds when I had surgery last year. The first couple of months were difficult but I managed to get down to about 209 before the weight loss stalled. Currently I weigh about 213. I'm happy to be here - thanks in advance for your support!
