I'd like to get everyones honest statistics on length of band, and weight loss.

Also if you'd like to give details of your loss, please do.

13 months banded, 85 pounds, from a 22 to a size 10, bra size from a 44F to a 36DD.

Pretty much stalled with good restriction in Feb at 183 lbs losing slightly now, down to 177 lbs. Heading for my TT in August

My band and I are a great team. I love what the band has HELPED me achieve

banded 4/14 lost 35 lbs so far. no regrets at all. was a self pay. wish I would have done it long ago!!!! almost 1/2 way to my first goal. might change it when I get there.

Surgery 6/15/2009

My highest weight was 238 when I qualified for surgery. Lost some before surgery. Today I am 2 years and a month out from surgery and weigh 160. I have lost 78 pounds. My dream goal would be 141, the lowest in my 5'8" normal range, and an awesome goal is 150, but I am a normal BMI.

So - I lost 33% of my total weight

But of "excess" weight, which I count as my high 238 to 165, the highest normal weight is 107%

or if excess is my dream goal I have lost 80%

And to 150, I've lost 89%

Happy? Glad I did it? Absolutely. Even with the hard parts, the tough parts, the painful parts - absolutely the best thing I have ever done for myself.
