Hi- I was banded 5 1/2 years ago and would be happy to answer your questions as they come up- you would be definitely helping me keep "honest" with my maintenance program because answering your questions reminds me what all of this has been about.

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