I was banded on December 8th 2008 and so far so good!
I have lost about 20 pounds, so far, I just had my band filled again today. My surgeon is FANTASTIC and I highgly recommend him to anyone who is looking into getting the band, his name is Dr Steven Fass. He works out of Austin Tx and I think he has a few different offices that he works from. He is wonderful and is always willing to answer questions or concerns I have. Before the surgery he explained things to me in a way that I understood and answered all of my "dumb" questions!
