How is everyone in the C'ville area doing with their Lapband and weight loss? Anyone?

I'm pretty much leveled off after 4 years....I gain and then get myself straight and start exercising again. Still a struggle but still a good decision.

Good for you! I am at a stand still and have been for about a year but as long as I don't gain I am okay with that. However I would like to get below 200. I need to see Dr. Michael Trahan because something is not right hoping my band has not slipped. Going to call him on Monday.

So how much have you lost and are you happy with your progress?

I've lost about 70 lbs. I do gain and loose. I've had some problems with my foot for the past year and have not been able to exercise like I want. So I've gained about 10 lbs this year!!!!! I do notice a huge correlation with my weight and exercise. I must exercise. I think the doctors have my foot manageable so I'm exercising again. I've already lost 3 lbs. Like I said...it's still a struggle but I've gone from a woman size 22 to a 'normal' size 14 which I'm satisfied with. I'd still really like to make the 100 lbs lost mark but I'm healthier, happier and more active than I ever have been! I have not been to Dr. Trahan in a year. I'm comfortable with the tightness of the band and feel if I get another adjustment, I would not be. Hope your's hasn't slipped...probably hasn't . It is something I think about too!!!!
