I had lapband surgery in April 30th of 2012. I am 5"1, and I'm 49 years old. My highest weight was 223. I lost 100 pounds and reached my goal weight of 123. Then I had a port leak in early 2014 and had port revision surgery in September of 2014. I have had a huge regain. I am back up to 165. The insurance I have now doesn't cover my Dr's visits anymore. I am not at a good restriction. And I can't afford to get the fills I need at this time. Has anyone else had a regain? And if so, what did you do to drop the weight again? As of right now, I feel like a total failure. Two days ago I went to only liquids. Today I am on pureed. I'm trying to restart and refocus. I am walking again as well. It's tough because I have a really bad back. And I hurt a lot. I feel so lost. I don't know what to do. I am so off track, I don't even remember what I did in the beginning of my journey! Please help....

Hi my name is Judy or eatlightjudy, I too have gained back some weight, started at 225 at 5'4", now i am 151. Had a second lapband put in 2012. I do love my desserts. I have been yo yo ing too. Bad habits happen. I donot exercise much,go to buffets,binge sometimes, put weight on/off.

I found a good diet, breakfast packet of oatmeal(low sugar) lunch chicken or fish vegetables or salad dinner slimfast drink snack on apples or fruit. Slimfast has recipes online which make the powder taste great. You lose a pound a day on this diet.

My goal weight is 130. I was last month 145. I too have a back injury, need the lapband adjusted unfill alittle. Just think we have lost the weight be thankful. My friend is so so fat she has not dated in 20 years!

In Mexico you can get a fill/unfill for $90. Husband is going to Mexico to get the lapband he really sweats alot and is extremely overweight had his previous lapband removed it slipped. Mine did too, and I had to put on weight to get a new on put in. Call me at 1 714 723-0976 anyone who would like to chat.

I had a fill. I am on full liquids at the moment. I forgot what it felt like to have a fill. I had her check my Fluid level. So she removed the fluid and then added it back, along with a fill. I am At 7.5 cc's now.

I fill so much restriction now!! I guess we will see how this works. I weighed in at 151.6 this morning.
