I’m very discouraged. I’m going on a month of a stall and it’s going up and down but not consistently down, can hardly eat and increasing water and exercise and I feel like I’m back where I started.... I can’t fail at this too ?

I had my lap band in 2007, I intilally lost about 60# (never reached my goal weight) I was up and down and maintained keeping off about 40#. About 2 years ago I became severely anemic and perimenopausal and gained 25# and have been up and down 10lbs ever since. I have decided it’s time to take this out and just pay out of pocket ( I have 2 more years before ins will cover) 3 things: (1) I’m anxious about a part of my anatomy being removed permanently (not not like a gallbladder which I had removed (2) had so many surgeries 4 yrs ago (nothing to do with the band) I’m nervous about more surgery. But I know it’s the right thing to do (3) if the band is causing problems can I petition insurance to pay?
