I had my lapband done in 2004. I have weighed the same 115 lbs since Aug 2005. I only had 3 fills done the first year. Are there any other long timers with the band? Any long term effects? All of my medical issues disapeared back in 2004 after the band. I went to Oasis of Hope in Mexico because I was not the required 100lbs overweight but I had 2 heart attacks with no health insurance. I started at 170 and ended at 115 and have weighed the same for almost 3 years. I would love to find others with the same back ground.

Welcome to LBT. I am not a long timer but we have quite a few on here that I am sure will be able to give their 2 cents :)

THAT IS AWESOME!!! I sure hope one day I can post saying I am at my goal weight of 150 lbs. I am well on my way!!! I have lost 31 lbs so far and I know that this was the best decision of my life.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
