I have not lost any weight since April. I am 10-15 pounds from my goal. I don't think I need a fill. I think I might be a little to tight. Suggestions?? Can being to tight stop weight loss??

Are you exercising?

It can get harder to lose the closer you get to goal. The reason is that your Basal Metabolic Rate lowers as you lose, and where you could eat 1600 cals and not exercise when you were at a BMI of 40 and still lose, you can't do that when you're lighter.

That why you lose big numbers when you first start out, but then it slows down. I would suggest either tracking your calories for a few days to see what your calorie intake is and/or doing more cardio exercises. I think adding strength training is a great idea too now you're close to goal, because building muscle (and therefore increasing your metabolism) will help you in maintenance.

Being too tight and eating high calorie sliders can DEFINITELY stop weight loss. Sliders also don't promote that feeling of 'satisfaction' that you get with more solid food, which then defeats the purpose of the band.

If you think you are too tight, you probably are. Try having .5 cc taken out to see if that is what you need to kick start your weightloss. Best wishes!
