I have had my band for 13 years - Weight loss surgery is not a magic wand! Before and After...

Thanks Kathy, unfortunately we were guinea pigs, and we helped paved the way for the people who are getting WL surgeries today. Good to see you are still around helping out the newbies

I'm so glad to hear that you are still maintaining your weight with the band you look so pretty. I was just approved for my band I had the RNY 2005 and lost a total of 100lbs I was 289lbs my stoma has stretched I had and Upper EGD done I now weigh 266lbs . I was just approved for the lap band over my gastric bypass Im looking forward to getting back into my size 14 pants again it was hell buying size 22 pants again. Pre Admission testing is 5/14/18 and surgery date is 5/31/18.

Thanks! Wishing you an uneventful journey.
