Just wondering how some older bandsters are still doing? I haven't lost much at all but want to get back on the "band"wagon so to speak.

I just made two years on March 30, 2011. I started my weight loss journey at a whopping 400plus and i have lost 135lbs and am still going feel free to check out my album!

Hi:

First band July 2007, slipped sometime last Spring, new band July 2010. Starting weight 324, lowest weight 174, went up to 208 when band was slipped. Now maintaining around 188 to 192. Still love my band because it's my belly cop.

There is so much left to the responsibility of the bandster - making the right choices, getting some exercise. Can't maintain without doing the right thing at least half of the week .

Best wishes to the rest of you.

I was banded in April 2008. I've lost 178 lbs and I've been working on maintenance for the last 6 months. I seem to go up and down about 5 lbs and I'm learning exactly how much I can eat without gaining weight. I wouldn't mind losing another 10 lbs, but I'm not actively working on it.

Banded 03/09/09 at 383 lbs.

Today I'm hovering between 191 and 188 lbs. Still working on the last 20 to 30 to 40 lbs. I'll get there eventually.

Banded 10/31/06 They thought the band blew and the surgeon wouldn't touch it.

Now 3 1/2 yrs. later, I went under fluoroscopy, and there is nothing wrong, It was deflated,

and he wouldn't fill it,

So I found a new surgeon, and I meet with him next week.

I hope to lose the weight again, with proper aftercare.
