hi terid welcome to lbt,you are not alone it take alot of us more time than others to loosse weight we are just all different so be patient and it will soon start to come off more rapidly..lol mariah

welcome friend!

if i had the chance to do it all over again....i would defenetly would have chosen a different surgery lapband has way too many complications for alot of us.including not enough weight loss or no weight loss at all my advice is to reserch all your options before you commit to one.i am currently going to have my second surgery now is going to be the gastric sleeve wich is another 13,000 plus 17,000 that i already paid for the band.now i think gastric is what i should of had done from the beginning but whats done its done.......good luck and much success on your journey....lol

woooo hooo congratulations..........

welcome heather hope you get your surgery soon......lol mariah
