I have had mine 2.5 years and can say its the BEST thing I have ever done in my life. I fought my weight most of my life. I had been quite successful losing on my own several times, but over the following years I slowly gained back and found myself unhappy again. I have lost over 120 pounds with the band and never gained anything back more than a pound or two that disappears within a couple of days. I am a firm believer that it is a tool, not a cure. Once I got to my fill sweet-spot I found that I can eat anything I want, just not a lot of it, so managing my weight has become a no-brainer, but I do still have to remind myself to chew chew chew from the very first bite. My life is soooo much better without the 120+ pounds that it would take hours to describe the differences – Once you start to loose you will be amazed at how much you put up with in the past when you were heavy… I encourage anyone thinking of have this procedure DO IT ! I predict you will be one happy camper with the results. All The Best ! Russ Grant The band is a journey. I have had mine 2.5 years and can say its the BEST thing I have ever done in my life.

Thank you for the information and the posting. I just had my band surgery in March. I am ready for my first fill. I wanted my band so badly. That I did not research what happens after you get it put in. I didn’t even think about how or what would happen after I got it. I just knew that R u Y was not for me. I had gotten scared that I had made the wrong decision. I am now ready for that fill. Thanks again DW Thank you,
