I had surgery 1 year ago,have lost 80 lbs. My problem is the weight loss has just about stopped.... I exersize 3-4 times per week about 1 hr cardio and weight. Ive read about eating 5-6 small meals per day to jump start the metabolism, has any one tried this?? I do tend to snack at night but I don't feel I overdo it... I started at 385 aqnd am down to 305 but have + or - 5lbs for the last 3 months. Any suggestions

Thanks for the encouragement, I'm due for a fill on Dec.15, 6 weeks ago I started having some discomfort in the stomach so the Dr. took a feww cc's out. I guess he should be putting them back next week. Keep up the good work and hopefully I get back on track

hi pearly Know what your going through, have patience and build up your endurance, don't over do it. I started back to the gym after my surgery in November,I've lost 65 LBS since my surgery. I am up to 4 days a week at the gym, I do 20-25 mins on the treadmill or stationary bike and another 20 minutes with weights. I still can't do more than 5 minutes on the elliptical machine.My advice is to try an add 1-2 minutes a week. Another is to break up the walk I started doing 15 mins and added another 5 after resting a bit. I guess it took a long time in getting it on so be patient and don't shoot for the moon. Guy

Going for 2nd fill today, felt no restriction with first fill and am hoping for some restriction.I felt I was overeating because I could, had to put a stop on my own. Lost 45Lbs since operation 11/3/07 Lokking to drop at least another 100

Was banded on Tuesday 11/6/07 By Dr.Sheldon Randal at the Lawrence memorial hospital in Medford Ma.DR. Randall has been great only complaint is amount of time in the waiting room. Because of my sleep apnia I was put in ICU after surgery. first question is has anyone been put in ICU for similar reasons.??? 2nd question is about pain, Ive been experiencing pain in my sholder and in my foot any ideas. I walked today about 15 minutes Just a note to say the staff at the hospital were tremendous, all the nurses from the operating room came to see me after the surgery and the staff in the ICU were also excellent. Melrose Wakefield Hospital high recommendation 372 pre 360 surgery day 150 to go

it was just the one day and they did mention the sleep apnia

Hi I have an appointment to see Dr.Randall at Melrose Wakefield. Is anyone familiar with him or the hospital???
