# of years with the lap band

Hi Everyone,

I'm just curious to see how many years everyone has had the lap band. I'm will be banded on 4-22 and haven't read many over 5 years. I'm just curious about the long term success rate with the same band.

    Nice question. I too am glad to see the long timers. I am 15 months and been at goal for almost two months now.
