I am so glad to see some more banders on MFP. Good to know I am not alone.
I was banded December 2009, and I have lost 122 pounds and counting. I started MFP towards the end of my weight loss, and now I am so close to my goal weight that my focus is on calories in/calories out and less on the band. It is full to the max and my docotor may remove some fluid (appointment tomorrow). I wouldn't mind if he did because I am having lots of episodes with sliming. Otherwise I would not change anything about getting the lap-band and the journey I took.

    Hi. Banded on 10/19/2011. Glad to see someone has successfully lost weight with the band.122 pounds is amazing! Slow going for me. Lost more weigh pre-band than I have with the band. Don't really have a lot of restriction, so I can't see benefits thus far, but I'm going to stick with it.
