Who has longest time with no band problems

Hi Bandsters... :smile2:I was just wondering the longest anyone has been banded with no problems.. and if you don't mind, who was your surgeon? I am working on my six month requirements for BC/BS so I don't have any statistics to offer. For those of you who do.. thanks for your information.

I was banded April 29, 2005 and have no problems at all. I've lost a lot of weight with only 4 fills. I say my band must have been kissed by the angels before it was put in because it's been like a miracle to me! Good luck with everything. Insurance companies can be a pain but it'll all be so worth it!

Wow,

Becky you've done wonderful, you should be very proud. I've been banded 2 years yesterday by Dr. Sanchez in Monterrey Mexico and my surgeon here is Dr. Trace Curry. Never any problems but not losing anything right now. The first 80 were fast now I know my band is way to tight. Good luck.

Becky beats many of us on here. But there are several who have had the band quite a while w/o complication.

I've been banded over a year and have lost over a hundred pounds. I'm now 137 and a size 6.

I was banded in Mexico and have had no problems with the band.
