coming up on my 1 year anniversary. pleased to say I feel this has been a success overall. i started this at 306 pounds and currently weigh 224. I am off my blood pressure meds and dont use that horrible sleep apnea machine anymore. I feel great! I am so thankful for this band but like anything sometimes we fight. I have had minor bumps and had to be unfilled due to being too tight. I am 1 fill away from being where I believe i need to be. I can shop in stores now and actually find clothes that fit. Oh strange thing I have noticed. I still see my self as being obese. Does that ever stop? I hope everyone has the success they are looking for but remember to be patient and follow the rules. It does and will work.

Congratulations. You have done well.
