I agree with what everyone else has posted in that it all depends on you. And not only on how well you work the band or exercise. Sometimes it's just as easy as your metabolism or where your eating issues lied in the first place.

I have been very fortunate to have lost a little over 100 pounds the first year. I hit that goal right at my 1 year anniversary but have sat there ever since, almost 6 months later. I try not to be discouraged and I am going in for a fill tomorrow to see if that will push me over a little but if I stay this weight forever, I would be perfectly happy.

The band, for me, has worked well becuase it has kept me from following many of the bad eating habits that caused me to gain so much weight in the first place. I used to go all day without eating and then stop at the fast food place to order 2 or 3 meals for me to eat throughout the course of the evening until I went to bed around midnight. Now with the band, I have to have something for breakfast and I can't eat hardly any breads and no pasta or rice or any of those wonderful carbs that I loved so much. It's a constant reminder that I cannot and will not go back to those old habits.

But though I have been lazy in that I haven't really exercised during these past 18 months, I think my body has caught on and that is the reason that I have plateaued, so I am reaffirming myself to a new routine that will help me to lose what I need to get to my goal.
