    Welcome to the forums.
    I don't really know if it's actually possible to 'reset' a pouch. I'm sure people will swear that it helped them and I doubt we'll hear from those that it didn't because their no longer about.
    But, BariatricPal has a program, so it must work, right?
    Good luck, mostly just wanted to welcome you and remind everyone of the old axiom "Buyer beware"

    Has anyone had their pouch reset and if so what was your experience?

    I had posted this on the WLS Veterans forum, but thought it would be a good idea to post this on this forum as well.
    I had gastric bypass surgery 5 years ago. I was incredibly determined and managed to lose 180 lbs. in a year's time. I'm 5' 9.5" and I went from a size 28 to a size 10. Now, I've regained a lot of weight and I'm starting over. I thought it might be helpful to list the steps that caused my weight gain. My goal is to tackle these 6 and starting moving in the right direction. Does anyone else have additional things that contributed to regaining weight?
    Stop weighing yourself Stop tracking your food intake Stop exercising Drink liquids with meals and ignore the 15 minutes before/30 minutes after rule Start eating your old favorite foods Stop visiting Bariatric Pal forums

    Your list most definitely hits the majority of the reasons I experienced the weight gain I did. When I first started having weight creep back in, I ended up ashamed of it and after a bad visit with my bariatric team about it, I left and didn't go back to them.
    Which sure the heck did not help matters!
    Those, though, are the main pitfalls for bariatric patients to look out for!
