Almost a year of giving up on my lap band, now I want to start my journey again?

[Riah.815.d 1]

So it's been nearly 10 months since my lap band surgery. 3 weeks after having my lap band surgery I went back to old habits; not working out, compulsive eating, eating unhealthy. I want to start my journey where I left off, but don't want to have surgery again. I heard that emptying my lap band completely to let my pouch go back to normal size could work but I'm afraid it's too late considering its almost been 10 months... Can someone please help me and let me know there opinions, suggestions???

Its such a shame that you put yourself through this operation etc only to give up just 3 weeks after you were banded. I suggest a visit back to your surgeon and discuss whats happened, bite the bullet and just make that appointment, if you are serious u want to give this another shot, you need to jump through a few hoops again to get back on track. Good luck with it, not everyone is successful the first time, its just like trying to give up smoking, some will manage it some not the first time. Its not that you didnt manage first go at it, its what u do next thats important . good luck.
