    Anyone know anyone who has been banded ten years or more? My fear is they say you can live with the band.. But I haven't met anyone whose had the band longer than a few years.

    I just saw someone post in another thread her doc has been banded for 10 years.... And I know I have seen people on this site who are 5+ years out. Hopefully they will post in this thread.

    My uncle was banded in 1999 and he is going well.
