Congratulations! I fluctuate a little more than you describe and exercise like a maniac to maintain. Your regimen sounds a little more reaosnable! Out of curiousity, how tight do you keep your band

Way to go! I never thought being so "normal" would sound so appealing!

FANTASTIC!!! very good to hear stories of people banded 2+ years (rare on this site). Long term information is badly needed. You should be very proud of your accomplishments and I wish you continued

So, today is my 4th Bandiversary. I cannot believe four years have gone by so quickly. I've had no complications. I keep up with my Vitamins. I see my surgeon about once a year to check on everything. My blood pressure is normal, my cholesterol is normal, my blood sugar is normal, my BMI is normal, yay!!!
I have to say this has been the easiest weight loss/maintenance plan I've ever been on. Even with the stuck episodes. You need to keep a sense of humor with you for times of stuckage.
I lost 70 lbs in the first two years and I've kept it off for two years with hardly any work.
I love my band. I am concerned about keeping it with me for the rest of my life. It IS an implanted device after-all. So, that's why I see my surgeon annually. My primary care doc checks my Vitamin levels.
Life is pretty darned good. My DH got me flowers today to Celebrate, what a sweetie.
