I'm John and i was Banded 9/30/10. Starting weight was 260 lbs and now im exactly 240 lbs. Down 20 lbs in 10 days. Surgery was great, with only 2 days of discomfort and everything has been perfect since that time. I want to lose a minimum of 90 to 100 lbs. I wish all of my fellow Sept 2010 Banders best of luck and hope to keep in touch through this process.
