Need a lot more information Famous1?

How much are you losing?

When were you banded?

Are you in a plateau and how long?

What are you eating?

How much exercise?

You seem to have lost a lot of weight so far? How did you do that?

My advice is to go over to the right hand side and click on the topic "one year bandivarsary". Read her post. It's very illuminating. Or click here: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/topic/149019-one-year-baniversary/

My advice: Only have a fill if you aren't satisfied after a cup of food or you're getting extremely hungry between meals. You are doing so much better than most of us and you are just in a plateau. Plateaus can last up to 2 months and it's no biggy. Mine lasted 4 months till I got the fill that helped me to feel satisfied.

86 lbs lost is incredible and very rare.

      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.
