I had surgery exactly one year ago today and lost total of 39.8lbs. I want to see if there are any June 30th or close by bandsters out there to see how they are doing and How much other people lost?

Hi, I got my band in June of 2009. I have just started to feel restriction and I have lost a total of 40 + lbs.

Howdy! My 1 yr BANDIVERSARY was on June 8. So far, I have lost nearly 85lbs and 50+ inches. I have gone from a snug size 28W to a comfy size 18W, my bra size has gone from a 44DD to a 40D, and I have lost 1/2 a shoe size. All of my rings are falling off. I am able to briskly walk 2.5 miles in just over 30 minutes. Best of all, I am off my diabetes and cholesterol meds and my BP meds have been cut in half!

Please try not to compare yourself to others who have been banded. Being banded is a VERY individualized journey!!!!
