I love my band. It's been a great experience all the way through. You need to realize that often people post here when they have problems (you can only say "I'm happy so many ways and then it gets repetitive, you know!) and it's good there is a place to get advice etc. But realize a HUGE portion of "bandsters" don't post because they are out busily living healthier lives.

I love my band too!! I've said all this before, but since you asked...... I had my surgery done in Sept. 08. I've lost 70 pounds, I'm off of the blood pressure meds that I took for years, I'm wearing clothes that I haven't fit into for a long time, I've lost 28.75 inches, I'm sleeping better, I have a lot more energy, and I am so much happier. Life is good and I am blessed! Take care! Becky

I've lost 65 lbs and am only 5 lbs away from a normal BMI. It's taken me 2 1/2 years and i'm feeling great.

Getting banded is definitely a difficult process. However it has also saved my life and for that I do not regret one second of it. I love my band and will continue being an advocate for the lapband system.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
