Hi had my band done last September and not lost a thing ! Really struggling and feel I need support 😩 x

Hi Angela.  The band can be tricky and can take awhile until it’s optimally adjusted – we normally say up to 6 months so you’re just a bit over that now.

Dont worry there could be a few reasons why – the band could need adjusting – what are you portion sizes like and do you get hungry between meals

– it could be that you need to tighten up on your diet a little and increase your activity levels

– maybe weekends are less healthy than the week so overall they are jeopardising your weight loss

who is your bariatric provider ? Can you book in a call with the Dietitian for an assessment ?

Have a read on the site – there are lots of articles in the library about what to do to help

also it might be an idea to try our Weight Loss  challenge 2019. We launched thus for  Jan  but it’s helpful anytime to start shifting the weight

keep us posted – good luck  you will get there – the band is a great tool once adjusted well so let’s put the last few months behind you and get going now xx
