Long Term Lapbanders

Can anyone tell me where to find some statistics on long term lapbanders? I would like to know if in 10 years these people have kept their weight off and the band on.

    Its a good question that I had been meaning to do some research on too.. This is the site I found LAP-BAND: Laparoscopic Obesity Surgery | Statistics

    The scales are in kg and BMI, I will have to look over it again to be able to read it,, I think there is other information in the side bar, but as far as I can tell this is the only other study except for the ones being done in the us right now..

    hi,

    I haven't been banded 10 years but im coming up on 7yrs this November. I lost all my weight and have kept it off with ease. Once you have that change of mind you realise there is more to life then food :-)
