October 15, 201, Well, it's been two months now and I am thrilled with my band! I have lost 30# and I am feeling so good! I can walk much further than before without pain - not even back pain! I know 30# is not much compared to the other surgeries but you'd be surprised at the difference those 30# made! I am so much healthier and I know that by this time next year, I will have lost at least 100#!
