Mine will be three years on July 9th. Not too successful, but have not had any band problems and I am still in better health then before my band.

Five years for me. Nine years is a long time for a young thing like you, Bette.

Thanks for being a role model for sane and healthy band behavior.

Well, here I come to pee on the happy parade. Had mine over 4 yrs, will be 5 in Oct. Lost a whopping 20 lbs. the first year then nothing. Mine has been empty over a year now and I've lost more with it empty than when it was at 8ccs, or 7ccs or even 6 ccs. So I'm not fond of mine and wish I could just get rid of it! I am however happy for those it did work for like Kate and Bette, who could dis those 2 anyway, they are band queens.

Will be 6 years in Sept. Lost about 175 lbs. Would like to lose about 25 more. Got a pretty major fill today. Went from 1.8 to 2.1 in my 4 cc band. Also no problems to date except for those I caused myself like not chewing enough.
