Hi: I am so proud of you and your pictures are absolutely fabulous. I have only had the band for one year and one month and I have gone from 312 lbs down to 220 lbs and my goal is to get to 200 even. I am 5'10'' tall and my desire is to be able to wear a size 14 and/or 16. I am 58 years old and never thought I could accomplish this, I have about 8 more pounds to go and I will have lost a total of 100 pounds. You have 6 years with the lapband and I was so happy to hear of someone who had it this long and had success with it. I have had really no problems with my band and I love it and I work out 3 times a week doing cardio. Like you I am off all meds knee surgery, back problems, premature diabetes, high blood pressure I couldn't take it anymore!! Thank you for sharing and again you look fabulous.
