I'm really interested in the long-term effects of having the lap-band inside the body.
How long have you had the lap-band?
Did you lose all of the excess weight?
Did you keep it off?
Was there a time when you gained some or all of the weight back?
Have you had any complications?
If there is any other info that is important, please include it.
Thanks for all the help!
