How long have you been banded???

Was wondering about the history of the person who has been banded the longest. Is there anyone here who has been banded more than 5 years? If so, are you maintaining weight loss and what is life like now?? Thanks for your time..

    I was banded in May of 2002 and have managed to maintain all but about 20 lbs of my weight loss. The band is a tool and I have not been using it like I should. It has however prevented me from gaining all of my weight loss back like I have done my entire life. I lost about 180 lbs using the band.

    I am going tonight to my first seminar on the lap band so I hope to learn more about it and start the process toward surgery.
