You are doing fantastic! Lap BAnd is slower. I know because I was banded in late Oct and to date (May) I have only lost 50 pounds. But you know what? I feel better, I look better and I have gone from a size 22-to a 16 sometimes 18. It might take a bit longer. but it will happen. Keep doing what you are doing. I have 50 more pounds to go, and I know that I will get there. and you will too.
