Hi, I had lapbank on Jan 21, 2009 and have only lost 30 pounds. My questions to throw out there for help is, I never feel like I have any restrictions with my band. Last week, I went back to the Dr. was filled to 10 cc, (band holds 14) and still feel like I could eat (lots) of anything. I've expressed concern to my Dr. but he has done anything yet. I need the help of the band control and I don't feel like I'm getting it. Has this happened to anyone else and what did you do. Thanks!:confused:

I'm hoping that your Dr. has checked for a leak by now if you have never felt any restriction (take out all the saline and make sure the amount is correct that you should be up to). Sometimes it takes people to get very close to the max level before they get good restriction. The other thing I'd be sharing with my doc is exactly how much you can eat at a time of solids...if it's a lot, he might want to check for slippage (part of your stomach slips up through the band making the pouch larger). Best wishes and WELCOME to LBT!- BG

      Xbox And Exercise - Kickboxing

      By sharon232 · Posted

      I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
