[shirley36 14]

it's been a year and half seens my last dr.visit and i have gained 35lbs back i keeped trying to lose on my own and i just keeped gaining and i want to go to my dr.and get a fill but im afraid he will chew me out and maybe that is what i need to get me back on track so the question is has anyone went back to their doctor after a big gain?and if so what happened?i'm sure it depends on your dr.some can be asses.

I did have a gain but not quite that amount. I ended up getting a couple of fills til I met restriction and really for serious about what I ate and also working out. Don't worry I've fallen many times and appears in on the roller coaster again. Just have to stay committed. Kudos to all who lost it and kept it off but for many it's a struggle and process. You can do it! Also I joined a gym and got a trainer and that helped tremendously

I think the bottom line is that you want to do what's right for you. Yeah Dr.'s can have a chip on their shoulder about weight gain and not following their rules, but you know what we are the customer so to speak and well I don't go to the Dr. to get bashed I'm there for their expertise and assistance. If we could have lost weight on our own we would not be WLS patients or needing to be in their office, so there's that. I need them and they need me and you

Yes they need to tell us what we are doing wrong, but they also need to be supportive and help us to understand and make the changes we need and if they are mean about it well it's gonna go in one ear and out the other.

I would go to the Dr. and ask them to help you get a handle on things and help you not only get back on track but give you a jump start. You don't have to take negativity from the Dr.'s or staff. Go in there positive that you can do this, and ask them sincerely for their assistance and things should go well.

Let us know how it goes!!

I no longer have a lap band, but I would recommend getting to your doctor and getting his opinion. The sooner you get a hold on the weight the gain, the less you will have to get back off. Isn't the point of the band that you can go in for fills or adjustments to get yourself at a healthy weight?

Good luck. You should never hesitate to talk to your doctor. He is there to help you get healthy! (Don't let his bedside manner intimidate you!)
