Hello all! 3/1/2003 I got my lapband and it was my 2nd BEST EVER decision. I was at 318 now I'm at 160 and healthy as a horse! I'm glad I took it slow. I started serious working out in the last 5 years. Other than a saggy belly and some fat around my knees and thighs I am ECSTATIC with my results! Oct 2019 I had a new band because the old port gave me trouble and Fluid wouldn't stay in. Before that I would get "tuneups" at nyu...takeout all fluid and refill with new fluid.

And no, at my age 58, (5'7"), I would never consider getting plastic surgery.
Hello there! I too have been banded for 12 yrs. I’ve lost and maintained a 120lb weight loss. I’m extremely happy with my decision and it’s getting harder to find long term banded people out there.
