It has been 6 months since my surgery and I have only lost around 15 pounds. I do not know why I am not losing weight. I had a leak a couple months ago but that was fixed and now I have 7 ccs. I am exercising but I am still hungry. Please help because I am feeling upset and discouraged. I though I would have lost a lot more by now!

I recently got more fluid in lap band and now i have chest pain. It hurts every time I inhale. I am still able to eat (no blockage) but my chest is consistently hurting. Does anyone know what it could be?

How can you tell if the pouch is stretched?

I have a slim fast drink for lunch and have Pasta, vegetables, or something else I am able to eat (I'm a vegetarian). I exercise around four times a week, usually swimming for 45 minutes or going on the elliptical for around 30 minutes. I do feel I have restriction for what I can eat or how fast I eat but not how much I eat. I have a 10 cc band filled up with 7 ccs. I am frustrated because I am not losing weight. Any suggestions?

To answer your questions... I do exercise around 4 times a week and I always follow the no drinking while eating rules. I keep track of my eating habits, I usually skip Breakfast (not hungry) and have a slimfast drink for lunch. I am a vegeterian so I usually eat some kind of vegetables, Pasta, or other non-meat, non-bread foods. I really want to lose weight and I try to stay away from the bad foods and eat the good ones... my concern is how much I'm eating. I am always very hungry by dinner time. Any suggestions how to keep losing weight? Thanks for all your help!

I had Dr. Kurian and you should know that you are getting the best doctor in the world. Not only is she very experienced but she truly cares about her patients.

I had my surgery on 10/15 and I only lost around 15 lbs. I am up to 7 ccs so why am I not losing weight?
