I have been overweight since middle school. I kept adding ten pounds a year. i tried many diets, nothing worked. Then, in 2006 I was put on a medication and I gained 60 pounds. I was done! I looked into gastric bypass and was all set, and then there was a riot in Bangkok where I was going-So, I looked online again, and found a surgeon in Tokyo, where I live now, in Japan. I had it done, and I have lost 30 pounds. Now, I find I am stuck, at only losing 30 pounds, but I have still a lot more to go! I am trying to find out why I cannot get past this plateau. I am hoping with some dialogue with others who struggle with weight loss and have the band it will help me in my own journey.
