I had my band for 16 1/2 months and lost about 45 pounds. Had my revsion on May 6th and at my apt. today went from 164.5 to 148.5. Don't think I have been in the 140's since I got pregnant with my now 15 year old. I feel amazing and had no complications, a very easy recovery, and I am eating with very little problems. I am so happy I decided to revise.

How wonderful for you! I hope I'll be as lucky as you with not having any problems, complications & hope I can eat with no problems, as long as I follow directions!

Me, too. I revised, too, but I had my band for a loonngg time. I lost about 60 lbs or so, while struggling with that thing for years. Getting filled, then stuck, then unfilled. One minute I couldn't eat anything and the next my stomach was a bottomless pit. What a roller coaster ride. I was reluctant to revise, but so far so good. I wish I had given myself a second chance sooner.
