Has anyone lost a lot of weight and then gained it back.

I have! I lost over 100 pounds and gained back 40. Now I have recently lost 16, hopefully I'm back on track!

I lost around 100 but have put back on 80 and I'mtrying to get on track but my band never feels tight.

When is the last time you had a fill? I got off track when I started missing appointments because of family tragedies! I made an appointment in March to see if I can get a little more help from my band!

I have had 2 fills recently with no help.

This is scaring me. I want plication but its no longer offered here

I didn't gain weight until after my band started to leak. So my weight remained stable for 3 years. I gained with the leak only because I suddenly couldn't feel my band anymore and started to enjoy that feeling a little too much.

I'm now trying to lose the excess weight while waiting for a full band replacement. I have to admit, one thing I am thankful for is that the band did help me break my addiction to a lot of foods that would likely have had me balloon in a short period of time had I still craved them - things like junk food, soda and chips. So while the band is currently not working, it's taught me about discipline and good food, and that's better than the way I was before. More importantly, it has shown me that I can control my weight if I set my mind to it.

Sweetie, try to relax . If you look at any weight loss surgery, you will see you can gain weight back with any of them. My sister had gastric bypass, lost a lot of weight, didn't fix her head and gained almost all of it back.

It's all about changing your habits. Not using food to medicate yourself. Following your Drs plan. No matter which surgery you choose, its going to take work.

Good luck
