steph1967 13 Posted March 5, 2012 I am fairly new to the site, I was banded 5/14/2008 and I have lost 220 lbs 10 more to go and feel great yes it is possible with determination. I have never had a gain nor do I intend to the band is a tool it is not a cure all and if you have the mind set that you want to lose and keep it off and be healthy you will get there..good luck to everyone in achieving your weight loss goals. 1 leda reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zionsongbird 1 Posted March 5, 2012 I was banded on June 10th 2010, I have lost 104 lbs!! My best advice to any who feel like their band isn't working or your not losing fast enough...don't give up. I took me almost 2 yrs. The weight comes off slowly, but it's a much healthier way to lose. I would do it again in a second! 1 okiekatt reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lisarenee 2 Posted March 25, 2012 I was told I could easily lose 60 pounds and I did. To lose more would take work and I must say i had to work at it. it was not easy but with determination and my wonderful doc I lost 130 lbs and kept it off! I'm 4 years out.
