Today is the 11-year anniversary of my ‪LAP-BAND‬ surgery! I have lost and kept off over 100 pounds, and I'm loving life! It has been a wonderful journey, and I am so grateful. I'm so proud of our weight loss surgery community!

Congrats on losing and keeping it off , Happy banderversery.

Congratulations and thank you for creating this site. It's amazing!!!

Happy Bandiversary Alex!!

I can't imagine where I will be in eight and a half more years - great going!

Really underscores what a loooooooooooong game this is.

Thanks, Alex.

Congrats!!!

Congratulations!

Thanks for bringing the rest of us along for the (healthy) stroll though the rest of our assembled lives, Alex.

Happy Surgiversary!!!!

Congrats Alex and thank you for building this community instead of just taking care of yourself.

This is where I came and found out about the types of surgery available, made a decision about the type of surgery to get, got support pre-op, those first few stressful weeks post-op, through my weight loss journey and finally, during life at goal.

From the bottom of my heart, I salute you! For doing well for yourself and creating a home for the cantankerous, bickering, sometimes ungrateful community of fellow weight loss surgery patients.

Happy 11th surgiversary and here's to many more years at goal and in good health!
