It's great to hear of success from someone who has had the band for 5 years. Losing the weight is marvelous - maintaing the weight loss, even more so! You do give us hope. Jean B.

I've said it before, Mona, but I'm gonna say it again....YOU ARE MY HERO!!!!!!!! You are such an inspiration on this board and in such a classy, low-keyed way! You don't say much, but what you do say profoundly affects me.

Thanks for your insight, wisdom, and beauty!

I am 18 months out and have maintained my current weight for 6 months. It really makes me nervous that it will go up. It seems like I can eat more than most bandsters. We all needed to read this post. We have all been fightting the yo yo effect for so many years this just seems to good to be true. Thanks
