Safe to say my love affair with the band ended long ago. The majority of my weight loss was immediately afer surgery before a fil.Knowing what I know now , being self pay I shoulda had the VSG. I could have avoided all the mechanical problems I've had with the band.
Just wanted to chime in with my 2 cents. As others have said, u absolutely cannot compare your rate to others. Your Journey is YOURS and unique to you only. I had to learn that the hard way. I too felt like others were losing at a much faster rate than I. But at the end of the day, the weight came off and I got to where I wanted to be. Don't let the process frustrate you, just continue on your journey and see it through till the end.
Highest Weight : 361 (pre-op diet) | Surgery Weight : 311 | Current Weight : 181
I felt the same way at first too, but then I finally realized I am not like everyone else. I am me. So with that said. You are blessed that you have lost 60 pounds and have kept if off. You should celebrate what you have accomplished. We all go through a plateaus. What works for me is to set small goals, something that is realistic and not crazy. Try to make yourself a small goal and in no time that weight will come off. Good luck and keep up the good work...you can do it!
