lap banders

Hi I am hoping to be banded soon. What are your stats how is the weight loss going and how much have you lost so far also are you working out...............What do you guys love most about the band?????

My stats are in my sig line.. I was banded on sept 7th, I weighed 242.  The day I started my liquid diet I was 260.  I am now 225.5 and couldnt be happier. I am working out, jogging and doing just my size yoga.   And I love the fact that if I want I can sneak a pieace of choclate without getting alot of pain.   Also check out my blog,  I have blogged about every experience from the beginning

13 1/2 months banded, down 86 lbs.

I'm 5 months out and down about 45 pounds.  I love it because it's not too drastic.  Having your insides rerouted scares me.

I am down 78.5 since December.  I love my band.  No problems.  Can eat anything, no food aversions, haven't had a PB ever.. and only a handful of slimes.   Happy as a lark. Another thought.. 2 days after surgery I was shopping at the mall for Xmas for 4 hours! Amanda
