sp1587 27 Posted December 21, 2012 Sorry for the delay! I'm in easthampton! I've also been stuck at about 65 down. I did a reset of the liquid diet for a bit and that helped, along with mixing up the work outs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taraepperson 18 Posted December 21, 2012 I'm not close, but you could need a fill. Also try the original pre-op diet for 2 weeks again. It helps to lose a lot of weight quickly and gives you a great jump start again to shrink your stomach! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

\Mara/ 11 Posted March 24, 2013 Well I live in Springfield, and Im in the confusing process to choose a surgeon, the best for my situation. ..I'm a Low bander (35.2) BMI, and I need an experience office that can help me to have my insurance approval. ..Im in between of a local office ( they do a lot of different type of surgeries) crowd office vs.other office (1hr 35min) far but just work with lap band surgeries...????
