Congratulations for getting back on track!
Regarding the question on regain, The band does not keep you from eating the wrong things, like slider foods (ice cream, chips, etc.). We all have to figure out how we got to where we are and change those issues. You have to be disciplined and eat the right foods, the right amount and exercise. It is not about just getting a fill. It is abutting eating right, being satisfied with what you are eating and feeling full/satisfied for several hours. Only get a fill if you are eating correctly and not satisfied/full for several hours. And, do not eat until you are full. Eat you prescribed meal and wait 20 minutes to see if you are full/satisfied. You will have to learn how to do that and occupy yourself with something other than eating between meals.
You can all do it, just takes lots of practice!
