I just wanted to know who"s had their band the longest and how are they doing.

Good question.

May 24, 2006; In June '09 I was 7 lbs from goal and my doc insisted I had lost 17 lbs too quickly from March to June. He insisted that I get a slight unfill for the long term health of my band and I've never been that close again.

I've done well till lately. Since Dec I've been having lot of pain and can't get answers but will keep posting on what I find out.

10.5 months for me not even close to some of the people on this forum.

I have had band 4 years. Unfortunately I did not follow doctors guidelines and gave up. I don't advise this. I have been back on track since end of October and doing really well. My life has changed and continues to change all the time. I cook most of my meals and measure everything. I will not go off track again. I am in so much of a better place now and will continue forward. I have lost 95.2 so far and had no problems with my band other then too full a couple times.

Possibly Jachut
