is anyone still losing weight after 2-3 years??

I had mine done march 2008, I am still losing, very slowly but I am very happy about it, is anyone else having the same results.

I have lost 110 pounds I need another 40.

Does the band keep working after 3 years??

Yes, it does. I have maintained an even 68kg or so for about three years now, but over time, and with fill loosening somewhat, have eaten more, just enough more to maintain, not enough to gain.

In a few weeks, I have to have a foot or two of my intestines removed. My band will have to be unfilled for this operation, that freaked me out a little and I decided I better start being really good, to practice for what I know I'll have to do for the period of time I'm unfilled if I'm not goign to gain weight. When I've returned STRICTLY to my band rules, 3 meals, no crap, I've suddenly lost another 3 kgs in a few weeks. I really probably dont need even the moderate restriction I have if I ate this way all the time.

I now have a little leeway to gain a bit back when I'm unfilled, I'm now getting alarmingly skinny, but I dont want to eat rubbish to put it back on.

I have always exercised regularly, running most days of the week too.

Thanks guys - didnt mean to hijack the thread. But the point is, if you keep eating as you should, and dont slack off, you can keep losing.

We all do tend to slacken a little with time.
