I was told that your first year was your prime time to lose weight or have you guys heard differently I am a litte discouraged I have lost 40 in 4 and a half months I just lost only 2.5 in six weeks wasn't feeling full got a fill today so I hope it helps my goal was 100 in one year but when do you count the year when you feel restriction or when you got the surgery really discouraged i can't fail at this too.

40lb in just over 4 months is pretty good actually! You may have hit a little plateau but I bet your fill will take care of that.

40 pounds in 4 months is good... The fill will probably help, but I think you are doing good!

we don't really have a "prime" time to lose weight. Part of the beauty of the band.

And 40 in 4 is damn good. 100 pounds in a year may be setting yourself up for disapointment. I don't know what your starting weight was/is, but if you are a really high BMI person, this is more do-able than if you are closer to 40 or less. I just don't want you to set an unrealistic goal, then feel like a failure when you've already done such good work.
