Had surgery Jan 21st this yr weighed 254 now down to 200! Once I hit 200 I was having issues with my band being a tad too tight...I had it let out a teeny bit...Now I cannot lose!!! So discouraged!

I feel your pain. I just ended a 5 month plateau. It happens. You will lose again. You are probably losing inches now. I hate the scale. Its so meaningless sometimes!

5.0 cc in a 10cc lapband (four fills) 1 unfill of .5cc on 5/24/2011.
.5 fill March 2012. unfill of .25cc May 2012. Unfill of .5cc June 2014.

Still with my lapband with no plans for revision. Band working well since

last small unfill.

Are you working out? If not I highly reccomend you start. If you are, bump up what your doing by increasing the intensity/duration. What ever excersise you choose, walking is a great start, just get moving!

The above posters are correct. Plateaus suck, but they happen. If you are working out, I would change up the workout. Not just the intensity, but the type of workouts. I would also vary the amount of calories.

Our bodies are funny things. They get used to routine very easily, which could stall weight loss. We have to keep it guessing. Keep following the rules and the weight will come off. Good luck!

I can totally understand what you are going through, I had my surgery Feb 16 this yr and I've lost 33 lbs ( I weighed 207 and now I weigh 174) and now I can't lose any weight. Sometimes I wish I would have gotten the sleeve. I am sticking to the diet and excersising, but the weight just want come off..,., I have 5ccs in my band and really I don't feel any restriction, it's like I never had the surgery... well good luck to you and know that you're not alone...

A 3+ month stall at 200?! That would be frustrating. You are so close to onederland, you can do this!!

Can you give us an idea of what your daily intake is? Do you know? Are you tracking it? There may be some easy tweaks that can get you slip-sliding out of those 200s!

Yes, it is very frustrating...but, you will start losing again.

Maybe go in for a very slight fill...might be ready for it now. I waited 7 months and stalled the entire time...went in for a tiny fill and started losing again!!

it happens to all of us!!! You need to fiddle with what your eating and exercise.

The best way is to start tracking again sometimes we don't always account for those extra bites and nibbles and they are start to add up. Trust me I just had a reality check myself of salad dressing BOO!

Good luck keep plugging away and as other mentioned you might be losing inches! Try on a old pair of jeans and feel good about how far you have come along.

Can I ask all of you why you choose the BAND instead of the SLEEVE??? Was looking into the Band but now I think Im pretty sure Im going with the Sleeve! Any feed back would be great!!

Thanks
