banded 4 months and lost 23 pounds. Paid 100% of cost (insurance wouldn't cover) and don't regret it. Still trying to get it all figured out.

Five and a half years, 120 lb loss which was about 120 percent of excess meaning I got down to a bmi of 19. Now maintaining easily, not effortlessly but definitely easily.

I've been banded seven months and have lost 83 pounds. Still have 39 pounds to go.

Banded 8 months, down 67 pounds and NO REGRETS (ok one, that I did not do it sooner)

Banded on July 15 2010...so i'm a few days short of 1 year...lost 62 pounds as of this morning. Did not have restriction until July 1 2011...yes thats right 15 days sort of my one year bandaversary! I'm now at a 6.5 fill - had a MAJOR stuck incident yesterday for the 1st time lasted 3 hours on a tiny peice of salmon skin. Yesterday i was questioning my decision. Today i woke up weighed myself and took a good look at my new body in the mirror and i now realize how far i have come and would not want to change my decision to have the band. I guess i had a moment!

Banded 1 year & 2 weeks. Down 130 pounds! 100 more to go!

LOVE MY BAND!

Banded a little over 7 months, 92 lbs lost, don't regret it for a second!!

banded 2 years, 4 months. Down 200lbs. Only 17lbs away from a normal BMI (which is NOT my goal, but thought I'd mention it for those who live & breathe by the BMI ..LOL).

Currently in the "considering plastic surgery, thinking about going for a consult" stage. Some, but not all, of those 17lbs would come off with plastics.

Yes, I'd do it again. No regrets whatsoever. Even waiting as long as I did to get banded I think was the right thing. I had to wait till I was physically, emotionally and mentally ready.

Banded plication 6/27, down 22 lbs

Tomorrow will be my 4 month bandiversary and I've lost 43 pounds (33 if you don't count the pre op diet). I love my Bandy and I'm so glad I have him!

Banded for 4 months and down 44 lbs. I was self pay and would do it again! Only regret I didn't do it sooner!!

Also 52% to my goal of 150.

8 months post op.

Lost 60 pounds

42% of excessive weight (surgeons goal is 30 % at 1 year!!)

Began to plateau a few weeks ago...need tune up...maybe 0.5 - 1.0 cc's

It has been a pretty cool journey ...so far...

not even 1 regret!!

Best part.......I feel awesome, I mean, I don't just feel good...I feel healthy! For a few years, i had forgotten what that was like!
