I am near my personal goal of 175 pounds. My original goal was 180 but I have since changed on my own accord.
I am now 183 pounds and I've lost 100 pounds since being banded 1 year and 3 months ago. I have a love/hate relationship with my band but I've been very happy with my results. It was slow moving at first but it has been consistent.

Hi Gracie,
The stitch from my port is lose on one side and you can actually turn it back and forth. I went to the doctor because everytime I exercised I could really feel it. The doctor was able to flip it back and forth and he was not at all concerned about it.
Since I am at my goal weight, he said I can have it replaced whenever I want. Also, I will be getting a low profile one and yes this does require an in/out procedure but from what I have heard, it's nothing major at all. Also, he can stilll access my port for a fills if I ever need one
I was self paid and I will definately have to pay for it myself so I am in no rush to get it done. It's going to cost me about $3500 so for now I'll just deal with the discomfort it causes sometime.
