Yes it does :) everyone has a different chemical body composition and are bodies metabolize different. Although, I feell lost,,,,, I have made more changes to my life. I have added more agressive workouts. I have not seen the numbers in the scale decrease but it is a good feeling that I am not the only one losing weight slowly. Keep up the good work.

Hi all, i am at 9cc and i am have been banded since March 4th 2011. I am coming up on my 1 year and i am having a hard time because i have not lost any weight for the last 4 months. I have changed all my eating habits and i know that is what my weight is was. I agree with the other person who said that they are 80% themseleves and 20% the band. I know i need to step up my game but i am a little sad about this all. i know it's still they best thing i did for myself and i will just keep going and going.
Hang in there.
Hang in there.

sounds like it could be the port....but if you are concerned I think you should talk to your doctor

Topic: RE: Pardon my intrusion
I'm sorry you've been bumped around, I'm not sure if you posted this in the lapband forum or not, but this board doesn't get a lot of action. The way you are describing how it feels, it sounds like the port to me. My port feels similar to that, feels like a thick sqaure in a way, but it is actually round. If you look at a picture of a port on the band, you can see that it is thick, so I beleive this may be what you are feeling. Hope this information helps.

Glad to read this post, it does make me feel better about what I'm considering the slowest loss yet. My surgery was 12/30/11, and I've lost 16 pounds. My doctor is pleased, which encourages me. However, I think my fault is by trying to read all the posts from others who have lost far more quickly, and letting it affect my own successful thinking. I need to see that this is MY journey, and if I want to lose the weight then I have to do it, not someone else. Does any of this make sense? lol.
I can do this...I know I can. It's just going to take time & patience.

Topic: Pardon my intrusion
I am post op 12 days. My band was place over a 5 year R-N-Y gastrict bypass. The reason for this was because had severa dumping syndrome; early and late that was not controlable by diet. (never left the soft food stage and can not comsume more than 3-4 oz) The thought was that the nerve that controls the digestive system was damaged during the R-N-Y and caused all kinds of problems.. Things are looking up tho! =) So my main question is I am able to locaate the port. it is smaller than a dime and does not parteude, how ever..Right under my bra line in the middle of my abdomen is a 2 inch by 2 inch square thing.. it feels to be about 3/4 of an inch thick..I have no idea what this is? Any ideas? Im not even sure i am in the right forum..I habe been bumped around so many =(

Was just at home beating myself up about my slow weight loss and lack of restriction. I have 7.5cc and I tell you, I don't feel anything. However, I have lost 22lbs in 2.5months. I guess that I shouldn't complain but boy it is taking forever....
Topic: FRIDAY GRATEFUL POST
Good Morning Everyone,
Today I am grateful that it is friday. I am heading south 300 miles today to visit with my son in Teen Challenge tomorrow. I am getting pretty excited. This will be short today because I have to load my car and get on the road soon. Grateful for a program such as Teen Challenge to help with addiction problems that people have. I'm sorry I won't be able to respond to any replys today due to not being able to access OH on my phone. If you reply you may see a response from me on sunday. PLEASE share with us if you will what you are grateful for today. Have a blessed weekend and please keep me in your prayers as I travel. Thank you.
Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
