vankay2616 0 Posted June 22, 2008 My name is Vanassa I had my lap band on Oct 5, 2005. I weighed 243.5 the morning of surgery. I now weigh 172.00. I go back and forth between 5 lbs and 7 lbs. most of the time. I have been at this for a year now. I was in a size 22 and now in a 10. I know that others have lost more then I, but they also have more then likely did the Gym thing where I did not. I do live a very active life just not as active as it should be. I know that if I did go to the gym I could lose more but for now I am very happy and I have never felt so good in my life. I did not do this so that I was in a size 2 or 6 I just knew that I did not feel good. Right after I had the surgery I said I would never go thought that again. Well let me tell you if I had to do it over I would without question. I tried everything you could think of to lose the weight before. Now I just maintain with out any kind of problems. I just went for a fill 3 weeks ago and that was the first one since Nov 2007. :redface: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
