Has anyone else found thats it hard to lose weight? I have gone back and forth 5 lbs, even after fills. Now I am stuck at my current weight for about a month. Any suggestions on how to break through this plateau and move forward? I know exercise is a huge issue and I have problems doing much because I have spinal stenosis and am disabled. Any suggestions will be appreciated!!

I am self pay and have a lot of friends who are also. Would have to beg to differ with you on not a good idea for self pay patients! I pay $150 for a fill, much better than $1,000, but I knew up front and before my surgery what it would cost me.

We'll have to agree to disagree, because I've seen so many self-pay patients struggle to pay for fills and/or treatment for complications.

Your fills at $150 each are a good deal for self-pay, for sure!

My fills are not under fluoro. I will not complain anymore about paying $150!!!

I've had my band over four years now my heaviest I was 28 stone now i'm 14 I still have a little bit more to loose! I had a baby boy back in January!

My advice to you is not only watch what you eat but watch what fluids your taking in, a lot of drinks have many hidden calories! Maybe also your band may need to be slightly tighter!

I wish you all the luck in the world, it took me six months to start loosing my weight, just try & be patient x
