Can you give us some more info? How much did you start at? What size band?

Karina,

Either your band is slipped or it is too tight and you need a VG (which is a larger band)

Do you have ANY restriction without a fill? Are you able to eat okay without a fill? What types of foods are you eating while not filled? Do you log your intake in a program such as www.fitday.com ? This program helps you to track your Protein, carbs, fat etc. You can also log exercise here.

I know how frustrating this can be. I hope you see your doctor and get some resolution! Good luck!

Hi Karina, in order to help you a little more, we need to have more information.

two years without a loss has to be hard to face. We need to know how to best help you.

I also could be that you have an underlying medical condition that is preventing you from losing weight.
