I've noticed that most of the people on this forum have been banded for a year or less (mostly way less!). I am curious about the folks who have had the band longer. Like all the way back to the trials. I want to find out how the band still works for them. Also, I have heard that the lap band has been used in Europe for many years. Does anyone know of a site that gives updated info on people who have been banded for a long period of time????

I have been banded 1yr 3 mos. I saved this site in a folder and I still go to it. I can't tell you how long these people have been banded, but there is a wealth of info there.

Cool site. I don't think I've ever seen that particular one.

I know several of the FDA Trial folks are on Yahoo Groups - Smartbandsters, then there are some on www.spotlighthealth.com , then there are those who aren't posting anymore because they're out living their new lives.
