I have learned that a lot of folks on here do not want to hear what YOU have to say. They want you to SAY WHAT they want to hear.

Me two years 1 month. Only unfill due to stress because of the death of husband which is perfectly understandable. I think!!!

Congrats on the 80!! That's fantastic. You'll get to 150 gone.. just keep on plugging. It's the last 20-25-30lbs that are the slowest to get off. Don't give up. :)

Band, yes; port, no. But, my port replacement was not due to a complication but for aesthetics. I had the old style port which was visible after losing to goal. I had it revised to a low-profile port two years ago. I'm now at 4.5 years out.
