Hi there, in reply to your post, I've lost 115 pounds with the band, so I'm not sure why the doctor would provide you that info. I know that you do have to fall within a certain BMI in order to be considered for the band, so it depends on your height and weight before they consider gastric vs lapband. My doc told me that it would take me about 2 years to reach a goal of 150-160. I'm 169 now so I'm going to try and see if I can get down to 140 (my ultimate goal) by the end of the year so I can beat his time and weight.
