  1. I am 2 1/2 years post Realize Band surgery. I lost 40 lbs before surgery, and another 45 lbs after (8 wks). I had my 3rd fill about 5 months post. I was able to get water down, yet within 2 days, I was having trouble getting anything down. So I started cheating with soft foods. Then I added dissolvable foods like chips. I would get so frustrated because when I wanted to start doing the right things, I couldn't. I finally had some taken out, but had already got back in the habit of cheating, and with that came larger portions and stuck food. I went back to the Dr and had all fluid removed. I am now heavier than I was pre-surgery. I am completely depressed and that too drives me to junk. I am at a loss and am not sure what to do. So my question is this.... Do I try and get my band filled again? Is it too late? I am heavier now than I have ever been and am ALMOST regretting the Realize Band. I have 6 incredible children and a fantastic wife! I am so tired of letting them down!
