Hello- 2 years post op and I cannot believe I did not visit sooner! Summary of my story...I hit 268 pounds and told myself that something has got to change - made the appointment - went through the approval process - and was approved for surgery- I now weight 227, my lowest was 212- the results have been slow but I have been unfilled due to GERD for about 1 year - and that has caused me to gain some weight back (as well as other hormonal changes, surgical menopause and thyroid disease) but I am still very positive and I am going to be having my band removed and replaced due to slip/prolapse in the next month or so and I am hopeful that will resolve my gaining problems now that the GERD etc. is under control.:biggrin:

I'm glad to hear you are having the band replaced, that says alot for the LB. I'm very happy with mine so far 4 months.
