Hoping for 100% EWL, not just 60%.

Indeed, typically you do not lose as much weight with banding as with gastric by-pass, but I'm hoping you will help me figure out how to lose it all. Suggestions? Advice?

What percent of your excess weight have you lost? How have you accomplished it?

Take up running!

Or some other form of exercise, but I can promise running works. Be dedicated to your exercise routine, work hard and regularly.

Eat well - that can vary person to person. For example, I absolutely dont believe that Protein is the be all and end all of weight loss and eat a carb based diet (wholegrains of course) like we were all taught to eat in the 80's and 90's. Others like their Protein based diets and they work too. Probably because NEITHER group is downing Mcdonalds, donuts and milkshakes.

Be prepared as you get towards the end for looooooong plateaus, it gets harder and harder to lose.

But it can be done without ridiculous methods.
