I am 43 years old and had my band put in for my birthday on September 29, 2009. To date I have lost 94 lbs. I was 438, 6' 1" at my consultation, 425 lbs pre preoperative diet, and 408 lbs on surgery day. I now weigh 340, less than I have for 16 years. I married in 1988 at 240lbs, wearing a 36" waist pant.
Don't rush the weight, I have lost 4 to 11 pounds per month. Good weeks and bad weeks, yet it was the best present I have given my self in my entire life and is the best decision that I have ever made.
I have become much more active and fell amazingly better. I have gotten off diabetes medicine, lowered my blood pressure, my knees and ankles don't bother me daily and my sleep apnea has improved drastically
