1. How long have you been banded? 10/22/2009 2. How much weight did want to lose? 160 pounds 3. How much weight have you lost? 152 pounds 4. How happy are you that you have been banded: scale of 1-10 (1 being regretful, 10 being elated) 10 I have had no regrets. Being banded has given me my life back. My husband says "it's good having the old you back again".

I understand that everyone's journey is different, but I have been banded since October 2009 and have had only 2 fills. One in November 2009 and one in January 2010. There is only 3.5 cc in my band. I have lost 152 pounds with 10 pounds to go to reach my goal. I still have very good restriction. I think that if you go to your doctor regularly and follow a plan that is good for you, don't worry everything will be fine.

I get people asking me "when you get to the weight you want do they take that "thing" out?" That "thing" saved my life and was the best choice I ever made!!
