Yes I have to agree with these replies. Too tight is horrible...and dangerous. Talk to your doctor and get a little bit taken out, you will feel so much better. I don't know what the "sweet spot" is that I read so much about in relation to the lap band (mine is definitely located elsewhere!), but I suppose that when you get there you will know it. I started excercising a couple of months ago and it has made all the difference. I'm losing again! I was banded in 8/07 and have only lost 59 lbs. But I'm losing again and working out is definitely a part of my life now. I don't hate it nearly as much as I remember...

I'm a slow loser too...I also refuse to give up! I've joined a gym and hired personal trainer. I will not fail at this...I won't I won't I WON'T!!!
