I would love to hear some great stories from people who've had their bands for a long time. I'd like to get an idea of what the future may hold for me,.

Thanks in advance for sharing

I'm just over 4 years. I started at 324 and have been hovering around 180 for about 2 years. I can eat just about anything I want just not a whole lot of it!

SEVEN very successful years.

I have had my band for 22 months. I have lost 210 lbs with no complications. I am 7 or 17 lbs from goal depending on which day you ask me.

Almost 3 years and still loving it!

I am 4 yrs out and lost 100 lbs but now Ihave been drinking 1 gallon of chai tea a day and gained back about 30 lbs.I know that a fill won't help me here. Anyone have any suggestions.

One gallon of chai tea..whats in it? Sugar, milk?

Seven years, complication free, even despite having rectal cancer (two years cancer free as of yesterday, yay!!!)

Oh,soy chai lattes, mmmmmmmmmm.

Chai is an Indian spice mix, truly yummy, but commercial mixes are full of sugar, a small chai latte is about 200 cls.

I have had my lapband for 15 months, but got pregnant with in the first four month of it.. :-/ I am blessed to have my baby boy now, and I am starting the process over with fills. Its been two months since I starting losing weight again.. And so far 26 pounds. Whoop!
