How Long Does A Plateau
· elgrande · 04/06/2012 21:58
I have lost 100 lbs in 7 months. The problem is I can't lose no more. It's been a month or so and I can't get passed the 100 lbs. How long does a Plateau last. I'm still doing the same thing as I was when I was losing. I even increased my walking and added some free weights. Anybody with the same issue. Thanks in advanced

Facing Fears
· elgrande · 03/13/2012 21:19
“At some point in life you have to face your fears, and head on even though you can’t be sure of the outcome. A great deal of people will never reach their dreams and it won’t have anything to do with their ability or skill set. They won’t reach their dreams because they were too afraid to try.”

· elgrande · 01/27/2012 23:05
Its been 7 months since I started my weight loss journey. I had the Lapband surgery and I'm happy to say I'm down 100 lbs. What I been learning along my journey is slowly but surely if we don't give up and follow the Dr. advice.

1st Dr. visit was good, didn't even need a fill
· elgrande · 08/31/2011 03:12
After having the band for 2 months the Dr. said I'm doing great. I'm down 70lbs, I'm hoping to hit 100 lbs by the end of the year or sooner. I also didn't need a fill.

How often does everyone get fills?
· elgrande · 08/25/2011 18:06
Does everyone get a fill after each doctor visit or does it depend on the weight loss?

After having the band for almost a year, I'm finally scheduled to get a second fill. I will get my 2nd fill and hopefully the fill will help me lose more weight. I hit a plateau and it seems like i broke it but i lose and gain 2-3 lbs. Hopefully the second fill helps me out.
