Hi! Been banded for 2 years (on September 13, 2006) and just this month hit my goal weight of 145 pounds (am 5'8"). I was banded in Monterrey, Mexico by Dr. Arturo Rodriguez. I am actually flying back for his patient reunion in December and having my band loosened since goal weight hit--total of 70 pounds. I love this band! I do have a lap band web site that is www.thebariatric.com (is actually Dr's, but former patients talk on there which is supportive like it is here). Looking forward to talking to fellow bansters!
