Howdy, all!!

I was banded back on 4/21/10 and have lost a total of 50 lbs. I have about 70 lbs to go to hit my goal weight. I just found this site today. I'm looking for tips/hints to get myself back on track. I've basically held my current weight for the last 3 months. While I'm ecstatic to shop at "normal" stores again, I very much want to loose the rest of this weight and feel like the amazing woman I am. Thanks in advance for the experience on this site.

Wow, great work!

When was the last time you went in for a fill? If you have been stalled for three months you should have gone back for one or two during this time. The stomach loses weight too and the band needs to be tightened along the way to remain restrictive enough. You may also need to change up your exercise routine (or start one). If all else fails, try the South Beach diet, it's very "band friendly" and can jump start your weight loss safely.

Good luck and keep up the great work! :)

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
