    Band fitted in April 2010 - didnt know at the time I was pregnant. Had our beautiful healthy boy in November 2010 so now having fills.

    Got a 10cc band with 6cc in it, and lost 13lbs so far (since having 1st fill 5 weeks ago).

    Glad to see WLS folk :D

    Yep! Still here! Congrats to the newbies and those who have had to get back on track. You can do it! I'm a "sleeve" and maintaining at this point.

    I had a gastric bypass in 2002. I have had nothing but complications since then, but would do the lap band if I could do it over. I went from 300 to 160 and got to maintain it for about a year. Then started taking steroids and put back on 90 lbs in 6 months. I am finally off the steroids and have been able to get back down to 190. Weight loss is definitely slower the second time around! Wishing everyone the best on their WLS journeys! Feel free to send me a message.
