longest time with lapband

[JudyAnticola 2]

Has anyone done any research or have any knowledge of the longest amount of time anyone has had a lap band in? Sharon Osborne was 10 years, wondering if there was any information on longer then that. Europe has been doing this for a long time.

Thanks.

I don't have any specific information but my Dr. told me that in Australia there are many people who have had it a long time...around 14-15 years.

Good question Judy. I haven't had mine for long, but I meet someone who had there lapband for 5 yrs the other day (she had lost 350lbs already *gasp*)
