I've been banded for 2 years this month. It took about 8 months (with next to no weight loss) and 3 fills before I finally felt restriction. Since my surgery, I've lost 60 lbs. (from 245lbs to 193lbs) and want to lose 25-30 lbs. more. However, I've hit a serious plateau and my weight just doesn't want to budge!!! Uggghhhhh!!! I work out for 40 min. 3 times per week and walk 20-30 min 2 times per week and have been doing so FAITHFULLY for the past 7 weeks. I currently have 7cc's in my 10cc band. I'm noticing that I can eat more than usual and am getting hungry between meals more frequently (I'm starving in the morning). I want to get a "little fill", but am a littled worried because a) I'm embarrassed because I haven't met my goal yet and because I still have occasional "stuck" episodes/PB's and am afraid It'll happen more frequently. My husband doesn't like the idea because he doesn't like to see what I go through when food doesn't want to go down. But I'm getting discouraged by my snail like weight loss. Any suggestions?

P.S. Sorry for such a long post.

Well, I made an appointment on 6/29 to get another fill and I can't wait!!! I hope this fill will bring me back into the "green zone" as I've slowly slipped back into the "yellow zone". My PCP told me that my band may be a little looser due to the weight that I have lost, resulting in my ability to eat more and not staying full. Guess I'll find out after next Friday. I've been making myself be more conscious as I eat - taking even smaller bites and chewing even more thoroughly as I am fully aware that I'll be a little tighter and will need to be more careful when I eat after my fill. Hope the next week goes by quickly!!! Lol.
