Welcome to the board!!  Very few lap banders here.  If you can catch Ann she is a bander.  The lap band board would also be a great help for you.

Don't compare your rate of weight loss to people who have had RNY or any other sugery for that matter. Lap-Banders lose much slower and have to work up to and find their "sweet spot". It took me 1 3/4 years to reach mine and I have 8.2 ccs in my 10cc band. I lose on the average 1 to 1 1/2 pounds a week.

Remember to eat slowly and chew chew chew. Certain foods you may have problems with and forgo them. I only have problems with dry chicken or pork and no problems with pasta, rice, bread or tortillas ( most people do have problems with these carbs going down).

Hope this helps.
