I was banded in July of 2011 -- best thing that has ever happened to me!!! I have lost about 40 lbs thus far with the band (had previously lost 20 for a total of 60) and this is wonderful.

The weight comes off slowly for me (compared to others) and I am very happy with this. I am feeling better than ever and am very proud that I have succeeded at weight loss. My Dr., Scott Bovard is also so very proud of me and continues to tell me, the band is a tool, you are the one doing the work.

Any way, Merry Christmas, the gift of good health!

Congratulations on your great weight loss!! It might be slow compared to others, but great in the overall scheme of things! My weight loss also has been fairly slow, but I am elated with it! Makes you thankful coming into the holiday season for such a great thing to happen for us all! Enjoy the holidays and the feeling of continued weight loss in the new year!
