I had to register JUST so I could respond to this post - I'm a big lurker. I think most people that are doing well tend to be less focused on the boards, so we probably don't hear enough from them.
I heart my band. I was banded 14 months ago, have lost 96 lbs, and have had no complications. I've haven't been great about exercising, and my fill is a little looser than some others seem to keep it, so I probably haven't lost as much as I could have, but I'm DELIGHTED with my results.
