My treat, when I reach goal, will be pin up photos. Nothing lewd or too revealing, though!

Thanks for the advice. I haven't taken my measurements yet this month. I have about 6 cc in but I have the large band. Still trying to find the right restriction level so I really have to watch the food intake. My doctor is little conservative on fills to help prevent overfilling.

I was banded March 18, 2008 and have lost 50lbs. I know that's really slow but I've always lost slowly. Now, it seems as if weight loss has stopped :eek: and I want to lose at least 30 lbs. more. My next doctor visit is March 9 and he said he will check for a leak. I've really been concentrating on eating healthy and exercising so I don't think it's my diet but this stall has go to GO! How does your doctor check for leaks?

I don't like exercising either(but I know I need to do it). I do love to dance, though. I get my exercise in by taking a belly dancing class and a line dancing with soul class. That way I get my exercise in but it doesn't feel like exercise.Other days I go walking with a friend. Walking and talking to someone makes it much easier.

I too was banded in March 2008. I have lost about 50 lbs. and I still don't have good restriction (yet). But the best part is that the 50 lbs. is GONE!! Sure other people have lost more weight in that period of time but it's not about anyone else- it's about YOU andYOUR body. We all lose at a different pace. Besides, I'm hoping my pace will help me avoid so much hanging skin.
