Hi everyone, I'm kerry and this is my first post on here.

I live in England but find this site a great resource and have been browsing for a while now.

I was banded in Belgium in March 2006, and am approaching my 1 year bandiversary :confused:

I was just wondering how everyone banded at a similar time to myself is getting on..........for example how much have you lost, and have you had any problems with the band.

I look forward to reading your replies

Hi Kerrry,

I was banded April 4, 2006 in Montreal. I am down 161 pounds and have had no problems. I added exercise in at the 1/2 way mark in my journey and now run 4 times a week. I am doing a 5 k in 3 weeks!!!

Good luck to you!

I was banded 3/1 last year. I have lost 130 lbs (give or take 2 lbs). I have gone from a size 34+ top/pant to an 18/20 top and 22 pant. I have not had any problems. Overfilled once, but that's a fill issue, not a band issue. I LOVE MY BAND.

I was banded 4/10/06 and am down 155 lbs. I'm having plastics later this month and am so nervous/excited about that part of the journey. I'm starting to feel like myself again for the first time in a long time. I've had no complications whatsoever (knock wood). I found my sweet spot back in June on my third fill and have coasted since. I love my band and am so happy I did this, nearly a year ago.
