I need somesupport. I had my Lap band surgery last May 2010. I have done very well losingthe weight. I was 424 and got down town to 395 on my own since having the surgery,I'm 279 and stuck. I have not lost any weight in over a month. I work outeveryday and I feel like I'm eating correctly. What am I doing wrong or do Ineed another fill? I was losing about 7 or 8 pounds a month, now I'm no tlosing anything and I workout everyday with the exception of Saturday and Sunday. I ride the bike and walk on the treadmill for and hour wach time. I even wear a Sunna suit sometime. What am I doing wrong. I only need to lose 20 more pounds.

Maybe you aren't doing anything wrong. Could be your body has reached a point of equilibrium and is just resting, aka a plateau. Try some different activities, maybe dance or stairs or bucking hay, to give your body something new to deal with. You are very lucky that your efforts have resulted in such regular, sustained weight loss. Count your blessings, be patient, don't lose faith. That last twenty pounds can be a real bitch, lap band or no lap band.

And congratulations on your fine achievement!

You have done fantastic! Congratulations!

As Llyra said, you might just be on a plateau. Plus remember, the closer you are to goal, the slower the losses become. Are you tracking calories? You might gain some insight if you track calories in and calories out. Just a thought. You might try shaking up the diet. Changing the amount of fat, Protein, and carbs. Or doing a different type of exercise as previously suggested.

As to the need for a fill. Are you hungry often? If you need help with hunger, then you need a fill. Otherwise, no.

Meanwhile, keep up the great work! You are only 20 lbs from goal. So many people are fighting that last 20 lbs!
