can't band at my bmi

hi, everyone I haven't lost any weight in a while and my doctor told me not to worry, he said at my bmi they wouldn't band me. so I guess I reached that milestone, he has a way to make you feel better. got to get off this plateau, definitely. I don't eat junk food but maybe I should go back on liquids for a while to jump start?

Well congrats on that! When were you banded? What is your fill level? Are you exercising? There are some threads here about busting plateaus-do a search. Also, take measurements! Sometimes when the scale isn't moving, you are still losing inches. 63 pounds is great! Best of luck losing the last 37!

I couldn't tell if your bmi was 33 or 26.5. At 26.5, sorry, you aren't a candidate for banding.

But, at 33 you are. But insurance won't pay for it.

Hey, just saw your pic and said...hey, it's you!

How are things going? How's your mom?

Best wishes for the new year!

Delo, that's what my DW does to get things moving again. She noticed the difference after a couple of fills. Her doctor wants her to do a week of liquids and a week of mushies. She would drop quite a few pounds doing it that way, so now, when she stalls out, she'll do liquids for a few days and it gets the ball rolling again.
