Alex Brecher 10,515 Posted July 18, 2014 Today is the 11-year anniversary of my LAP-BAND surgery! I have lost and kept off over 100 pounds, and I'm loving life! It has been a wonderful journey, and I am so grateful. I'm so proud of our weight loss surgery community! 59 Debbie3sons, Teachamy, lin1970 and 56 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lsereno 2,525 Posted July 18, 2014 Congrats Alex and thank you for building this community instead of just taking care of yourself. This is where I came and found out about the types of surgery available, made a decision about the type of surgery to get, got support pre-op, those first few stressful weeks post-op, through my weight loss journey and finally, during life at goal. From the bottom of my heart, I salute you! For doing well for yourself and creating a home for the cantankerous, bickering, sometimes ungrateful community of fellow weight loss surgery patients. Happy 11th surgiversary and here's to many more years at goal and in good health!
