Hi, I have been banded for 5 years and am at the point where I do not require fills. However, I still get yearly checkups. Loosing 40 pounds in one year is not a bad thing, everybody's body responds differently to the band. It took me about two years to loose 100 pounds, but I have kept it off and have completely changed my eating habits. I decided to go Vegan about a year ago and have noticed a huge change in my skin, hair and ENERGY. Give yourself time, it will be worth it

Actually you sound just like me. It took me two and a half years to lose 81 pounds and reach my goal weight. What I did was stopped working out for a few days, watched my caloric intake and then started my workout again. I think our bodies just get tired sometimes. I also would incorporate a day of liquids as well to give my band and stoma a break. Then sure enough, the scale would move again. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Are you sure you're not too tight? I've read more than once on this forum that when you're too tight you might not lose weight. Maybe do a search for threads on being tight. See if it applies to you.
Best of luck!

Welcome!
