i was just going thru some post and came across yours and the replies. My office has actually told me to get more cardio type exercise. As one post said.......burn more than you take in??????simple math. I have lost 70+or- a pound or 2. I havent really exercised at all. I have loose skin now that i dont think I would have had if I had started working out earlier. Muscle burns off fat. Muscle is also smaller in area. Yea it may not look on the scale like a loss. I f your office cant understand that they need a few more classes in nutrition and excersise . Also most of the Lap Band procedures are followed for ever.Thats part of the package. I assume you had surgery here in US since you go to an office for f/u. You should see a doctor atleast a few times' PA's are okay sometimes maybe better, they will spend more time with you. How often do you get fills?? Does a doctor do that for you?. I have also had the esophageal spams just latelyas a matter of fact. It finnally stopped after a few hours. Not something you want to happen BELIEVE ME!!! So I say jog....walk ...run. What ever makes you feel good.
