Hello,

I gave birth to twins on October 2nd and had gained almost 90 lbs during my pregnancy. While I have lost almost 40 lbs I still have 50 to go and am getting very anxious to get to a decent weight.

I'm working with a trainer for exercise who is very much against getting the LAP-BAND® because essentially she believes my problem with my weight stalling is not eating enough rather than not eating alot.

My question are these:

1. How successful have people been with the LAP-BAND® and losing about 50 lbs?
   
2. Has anyone had their weight loss stalled because of not eating enough?
   
3. How fast can someone expect to lose 50lbs?
   

Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated.

I only have 50 pounds to loose as well. I've been losing 1.5-2 pounds a week since my 3rd fill. It's wonderful to not always be hungry!
