Hey! I am from KY too! Which city are you in? I am near Elizabethtown/Louisville!

I have some friends in the Prestonsburg area, so I know where you're talking about. To answer your question, yes, I have been banded. My surgery was 01/15/09, and I've lost 40 lbs. since surgery. I did NOT have a pre-op diet, so all these pounds were with the band. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
