I was banded in Aug. of 2006. I lost about 85lbs., and got down to 153, but have since gained about 10-15 lbs. Once I got down to the 153-155 range I really stalled and could not lose any more. I went in for a fill a year ago and she put more into my band. I may have been overfilled for a while, but still have not lost weight. I had become too relaxed with my eating and not exercising. I also had been on Topamax for headaches when I first had my surgery and that helped the weight go down as it curbed my appetite. I went off of Topomax and I really noticed a change in my appetite, a year after my surgery. It seems like it became harder to lose the weight. This week I have started back on my treadmill for 45 minutes and am walking 3-3.5mph. So far I have done this 3 days this week and tomorrow will make 4. It's never too late to use the"tool" that many of us spent a lot of money to have installed!!!
