Hi, I am almost 14 mths. out from surgery and have only lost 40 pds. I know everyone keeps telling me the slower u lose the better chance u have of it staying off but I've been at a standstill for a little over a month and am getting very discouraged and like u I too would have given up already but I keep walking and drinking water and telling myself it will eventually come off. I have another 25 pds. I would like to get off so if there's ANY advice u would be willing to offer I would greatly appreciate it?? Your doing an awesome job by the way!!!!

I am in the same predicament, but I had my surgery Sept. 2010 and I have lost 40 pds. and I am at a standstill and don't know what to do.. so good luck!!!!!!

Hey brittney, my name is Beverly Defevers and I am currently working on my 13th. mth. of having 'lapband surgery and I have to say it is the best thing I could have ever done for myself. I think they just put all the scary stuff out there so u can look at all ur options. It was very scary for me at first but after that 1st initial visit after ur surgery and u start to see a diff. you will know u made the right decision. I personally knowof a few people that had the 'gastric bypass' and within a yr and a half they gained ALL their weight back. I just think this is easier to stick to / with, but like everything else it's ur own personal decision but I hope whatever u choose u will grow fond of. So far in my 13mths. I've lost 40 pds. and at times I've gotten discouraged but my Dr says it's actually better to lose it slower than all at once, the slower it goes off the better chance u have of it staying off. So "GOOD LUCK" .
