hi there I was banded in Jan of 2007 and have only lost 65lbs. I too am struggling.I have had my band replaced last year.Some of us have a harder time finding our Sweet Spot. Don't give up! Sometimes we eat foods that are easier to slide down and tend to eat too many carbs.Exercise is important as well. Talk to your doctor again and stand up for yourself!! you paid a lot of money and you deserve to be treated well. Let me know how it goes ...
