Hi Lisa, Lisa-from what I have read about lapband surgery-it takes an average of four to six fills to reach the point where your eating is restricted enough to lose weight-most lap-banders should lose 1-2 lbs. a week once their lapband is at the right size for them. It sounds like you need more fills. Contact your surgeon and schedule another fill is my advice-and expect that it might be several more fills before you are losing weight! It shouldn't be necessary for you to have more surgery or a different type of surgery. Deb

Shere, CONGRATULATIONS!!! I AM SOOOOOOO PROUD OF YOU! WHAT AN ACCOMPLISHMENT! You go girl! Carolyn Sue

Lisa, I don't know what to tell you because I am not well versed with the banding. I guess I would talk to your surgeon or nutrionist and see what they advise. I wish I had a better answer for you...but I am clueless when it comes to the banding. Good luck. My thoughts and prayers will be with you. Carolyn Sue

Sheila, Congratulations!!! You have done so well! I think everyone loses at thier own rate...predetermined by thier body and how much they have to lose, and the dynamics of thier own surgery...and I think it took me a long time to realize that and to stop questioning and comparing my rate of loss. I just know that every pound lost is a victory to be celebrated. Whether we become butterflies overnight, or have to take a little longer...it is essentially the same outcome. You are not done yet! It might be slower, but it will continue if you work your tool! Mary Beth

Congrastulations!! I can't wait to get under 200. I have 32 more to go before I get there. But..... I do weigh less than my husband now. I was ecstatic with that news. Keep up the good work.
