I am almost 1 year out and have been at goal for 4 months. Banded 12/15/06 I am down 115 since my first visit with my surgeon. I am hoping to find some fellow banders that I can share tips and ideas with. I am not knocking the lab band board but most are iin the losing part and I am looking for maintaining. My hubby is banded too and has about 30 lbs to loose. He was banded 4/10/06 and it is wonderful having someone to share my food with! Thanks to all for the continued support throughout my journey!

I was banded June 05. My highest weight was 277, weight at surgery 266, and I am now at about 178. I hit 177.8 yesterday, so I guess I've really lost 100 pounds. Whoo hoo!!!! But I still want to lose 20-30 more pounds. I love my band. Did you mean to say you were banded in Dec 05? It sounds like you and your husband are doing great! I agree about the lap band board.
