I was banded 9/5/07 and just wanted to know if anyone weight is going down slow? For the last 2 months I haven't lose a pound. I have to admit that I get fustrated and go ahead and it the fried crab cakes just because I haven't lost any weight(Which is the same attitude that got me obese in the first place).I don't eat very much but just don't seem to be losing much. And onw day I'm 181 and the very next day I'm 184. I am always hungry but really can't eat much so unsure if I need a fill. I try to eat fish ,tuna, crabs(boiled), shrimp or crawfish and beans black,red and white mostly. So don't know why the weight is not moving.I walk 5 days a week most of the time, but know less than 3. So could some one give me some advice ?:rolleyes2:

I am glad you got to get the approval for TT and breast lift. I am a bit saggy, but found the Tuxedo bras from Avenue are almost like having a lift!

I lost weight from 307 to 284 before I decided to have surgery. I was having problems then with digestion, pancreatitis. Now I am about 245 so I am a lot lighter than I was at 307. I do feel a lot better.

I have moved to another state and have to set up an appt. with the bariatric people here. I think they are better than the place I went to with follow up care etc. I throw up about 1 or 2 times a week. Usually from chicken or eggs. I still can't eat much, I just eat the wrong things and need to get back on track.

Hi, thank you, I am really nervous about the surgery, but I hope it will relieve me from my migraines,back and neck pains! You may think that you are slow in losing weight but you are already a success! You have been brave enough to do something about changing your health and prolong your life! Slow and steady wins the race! Good luck to you and all the rest of us! Linda

I have stopped losing. I have had a stressful couple of years besides the lap band about 18 months ago. I couldn't open your attachment.

I have been at a plateau for some time... I've lost 60# total and have been at the same weight give or take a few lbs for the past yr or so. I was banded Sept 6 2007 and am thinking about tt in the next yr or so if I can get it. I've gotten back on track by helping a friend that had gastric bypass surgery on may 27. I was scolded by a young lady on here in chat this morning who hasn't been banded yet. I feel better after reading your entries here.

I have been away for awhile and one March 1 went back for a fill and am now starting to lose weight again. I flirted with being under 200 about a year and a half ago but have put on a little over 30 lbs. The good news that before I more than likely would of been back over 300.

Just wanted to check in.

Well I have been away for a while and am checking in.

Last week I had to have to my gallbladder removed due to severe pancreatitis.

I am still doing OK I am back down to 230 and the 100 pound mark.

I know that without my band I would be over 330 lbs.
