I am curious if there are any lap-band patients still active on the site. I was banded 14+ years ago. My band is still in working order and it never lets me forget it's there. My band was an Inamed 4 cc. band. I actually go for a follow-up visit July 24th which will be the first time in many years. My surgeon no longer performs WLS but the practice still exists. I did reach my goal weight for a short time but gained quite a bit of weight back. It's no fault of my band. Like we "hear" (do we really listen is the thing) it is a tool. Hope to hear some feedback from some oldies but goodies.
