I haven't been on here in many years. I joined back when I had my surgery in 2006. I lost 169lbs (made it to my goal) without actually having a fill. Since my surgery I have had five children, so I have gained back over 50lbs. My youngest is eight months old, and I am done having children, so I started back losing weight two weeks ago and I am almost 10lbs down. The lapband isn't for everyone, but I wouldn't trade mine for anything.

13 years later and still doing good. I had five kids since the surgery, so my weight went up, but I am getting back to losing this last 40lbs.

seriously!! all that weight and never had a fill??? do you feel restriction at all????congrats!!! that is amazing!
I feel some restriction in the morning, but other than that, not really. Thanks. I was amazed that it all just kind of fell off. I lost most of that the first year.

Pretty healthy.
I work retail, so I get exercise in everyday.
I have lost about 150 lbs.
I am happy, considering that I have never had a fill.

I'm really happy for you. I don't really know about band sizes, sorry I can't help you there, but I did have my surgery through LapBandSolutions and it was a wonderful experience.
I hope everything works out for you. Good luck.

I was banded August 25th, 2006. I have lost 67 lbs so far, and I had one fill back in December, but it was taken out a few months back. I am still losing though, so I'm not worried about it.

I was about 335 (my highest) in the first one, and about 255 in the second one. I am now 240, and hopefully I will have more pictures up soon.

I had my surgery when I was 18 (a month before my birthday), I am 19 now and it has really helped me. I would have gotten it at 17, but I had to wait until I was 18.

I have United Healthcare and they paid for everything. When I go for appointments and my fills, all that I have to pay is my twenty dollar co-pay. It only took a few weeks for me to get my surgery. All I had to do was have a stress test, blood work, and get a paper from my doctor with my weight every year for five years to prove that I have been overweight for a good chunk of my life.
I am not sure if yours will be different, but I hope that helps.

I just wanted to stop by and introduce myself. My name is Andrea and I am nineteen years old.
I had my lap band surgery on 8/25/06 and I had my first fill on 11/08/06. So far I have lost a little over thirty pounds, and I still have a hundred more to go before I reach my goal weight of 175lbs.
Thats about it for me, I hope to actually be an active member here.
face to face friday!!
