NIKIMAC 19 Posted October 20, 2012 Welcome to the club :-) I was banded back on 2007. The only problem I had from surgery was alot of gas in my shoulders and a sore stomach, you have to walk to get the gas out. I weighted in at 309 lbs, I lost 100 lbs the 1st year. I got pregnant in 2009 and gained 60 lbs back, but most of that was due to being on bed rest. I gave birth in 2010 and well its 2012 now & I'm down to 188. You just have to remember that its a tool and weight loss might be slow in some cases but it will happen. Best of luck to you. 1 Msdropinoff reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
