Hi guys,

I dont dont post much here because everything is going well. Yesterday was my one year since getting band with plication. Started at 257 on surgery day and now I weigh around 176. 80ish pounds down since surgery and 90lbs from highest weight and 8 pounds from goal weight. Just wanted to let people know that it is possible to be successful. Sorry there isnt pics but I would like to stay anonymous. I havent told many people about my surgery so...

Eight pounds from goal weight! That's great. Now you probably ought to start thinking about changing your screen name!

Awesome!! I had lapband surgery performed by Dr. Yoo June 22nd. I didn't do plication, but I still hope I do as well as you are doing. I love Duke Weight Loss.

Yep nothing but great service from Duke. They have been wonderful so far.

I'm just about the same as you- had my surgery a little over a year ago, am down 81 lbs, and 9 to go to goal. Ain't it grand?! Super congrats to all of us. I love that people are continuously losing so much weight with the band--some over 200 lbs! My medical group tried so hard to have me do the bipass surgery cause I had so much to lose. I am going to talk to the prospective bariatric patient class this week and hope I can inspire some of them to go band instead of bipass!

p.s. I agree- time to change your screen name- maybe "prior plump dude"! Anyway, super congrats! Keep up the good work!
