He said I would get down to 165 and thats where I . Is this it???

:help: I have 2 cc in my band and I the scale is not moving. He told me I would lose to about 165 .(I told him 130 was more like it)

165 and that is where I am stuck. Almost two months now.

1. Let's remember that two months is not a plateau with the LapBand. Only after 12 weeks (or 3 months) would I even consider it anything other than a 'resting phase' for someone banded at your point. Plus even when the scale is not moving, because LapBand weight loss is scale-slower, you should also be watching your clothes and measurements. Often even when I don't lose scale weight, I lose inches and sizes - and that's what matters to me.
   
2. Also remember your LapBand is a tool. Having 2cc in your band means your band is technically less than half full. Again, I realize you haven't been banded long, so I don't endorse overfilling - but remember that the more weight you lose, the more fill it takes to maintain your level of 'satiety'. (And you said your daughter only has 1cc - that's hardly a level of restriction that is going to mean maximum weight loss over a longer period of time.) I always use the example of being like a belt: When you're heavier you might just be able to close it on the first notch; but as you lose weight, you might need to use the 4th or 5th notch just to keep the belt closed. Same belt - but you are smaller. And it's the same way with the LapBand in my opinion.

Happy Band (And Life) Journeys To All...

congratulations on getting this far!

i agree with everyone. and really be honest about your nutrition and exercise. if you are being honest, it may just take more--increased exercise time, harder exercise in the same amount of time, and also another fill.

i will say that it is a mixed blessing, getting so close to goal. it's like, now you want to be perfect. you can see the finish line, the door at the end of the hallway. but it just so happens to be the door jo beth williams is running to in poltergeist. :faint:

and on the perfection scale... going from 85% to 97% (i dare not say 100%) is a helluva lot harder than going from 10% to 60%.
