Hello, my name is susan and I have actuelly been here in 2004 but have never posted. I have had a band for over a year now and am at a stand still, I have lost about 100 pounds but cant seem to lose anymore. so now what? i mean will the weight keep coming off eventually or is this it for me?

also, when people get a tummy tuck with the band? Do they leave the band in? or do you actually ahve it removed first?

First - welcome to LBT. We're happy you're posting.

Are you close to your goal. Weight loss always slows down as you get closer to your goal. Give us some more information and we'll be happy to answer your questions.

more info,

well i hav elost 100 pounds buthave been at a stand still now for a couple of months. It's like I can not lose anymore weight. also, i was wondering if I have to get my lapband removed before a tummy tuck, or hw does that work?

Well - like I said, we still don't know if you're close to goal weight or not.

But, to answer your second question - they leave the lapband in when they do a tummy tuck.
