I was banded in 2012 and lost approx. 90lbs. Since then I have gained all my weight back and I have given up. I dont no where to turn. I am a 58 yr old male.

Copper, go back to the surgeon, and let us know how you make out... there is no reason that tomorrow can't be a reset and fresh beginning!

I was also going to say exactly what Carolinagirl & Lisacaron said so all I can do is say & kind of repeat what others have said just a suggestion look up 5 day pouch test for bariatric patients or pre & post op instructions for Lap band patients or Bariatric patients & start over , yes I was a MAJOR SODA POP DRINKER , BUT FOR Wanting the taste or even the caffeine I have learned to like tea with out sugar but I do put either cucumbers or fresh berries , I really love lemon in my tea or Water & when in restaurants I always ask for lemon in either , I may not drink it right away but I always ask , gotta get away from the Soda for sure & Crystal light has good flavor & is low in sugar & calories & there are alternatives for Sweet sugary stuff just have to look , I even once in awhile have a candy bar but it's YOU TO DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT TO DO , FOR ME I NEEDED IT FOR MY HEALTH & I paid way to much money to go back to where I was I always keep that in my head a lot of people think they have failed sometimes however WE POSITIVE PEOPLE SAY IT'S NEVER TO LATE TO GET BACK ON TRACK & back to the BAND WAGON SO GOOD LUCK & try & get support as much as you can by all means Jump LOL figure of speech back on & see if the ride helps you again good luck.
