Just hit my 2yr anniversary and i have only lost 35lbs....feeling like a failure big time.

35 lbs is NOT FAILURE! That is a lot of hard work to get that far. Maybe after 2 years, you should explore with your doctor the possibility of a "refresher" on the do's and don'ts of the band. A lot of people on here indicate that restarting the plan from the beginning is a great way to kick your weight loss back into gear.

How much weight would u normally put on in 2yrs pre-band.. look at the whole picture not just your weight loss, do u feel fitter, are u eating more healthy food.. do a kick start and go back to basics .. good luck

I agree with Cazzy. You aren't a failure. If you didn't have the surgery you could possibly be 50+ pounds heavier than you are now. Put on your big girl panties and take control of the situation! Get in and see your dr if it's time for a fill. Start logging what you are eating if you haven't been. You can do it!

I agree with the others. Any weight lost is a positive thing. I hear your frustration though.

It sounds to me like you have never seen the green zone. I say go get a fill (or 2, or 3 if your doc is one that gives tiny fills) and put the band to better use.

Thank you all for your comments and encouragement, I am diffenitly getting back on track and re evaluating everything I have been doing for the past 2 yrs, also going to make another dr appointment soon.

Have you tried weight watchers! It works... I know you think the band should do it all, but it (weightwatchers) helps to keep track... I have had my band and been loving it... But when I stray I go to weight watchers and the gym.

Btw I have been banded for almost 9 years!
