Need Lap Band Buddy / Mentor It may be to late for me

I had my surgery almost two years ago. I am very sad to say I have gained almost 20 lbs of the 35 that I lost. It really feels hopeless right now. I would like to get back on track ,but not sure I can. It may be to late for me

It's never too late with the band. Call your doctor, schedule a fill. Join WW or your favorite weight loss group if they help keep you motivated.

Come on LBT as often as possible. It HELPS!

I've heard stories like yours before that ended in success. You can do it!!!!

thanks, maybe this is a good first step back. i have no one to talk with about this, so I really feel all alone. Trying not to feel too sorry for myself.

Pat yourself on the back for taking that first step! You haven't given up and you still have your band there to help you, you just have to use it!

Have you made an apointment with your doctor? You should def get a fresh start with a new fill. Also are there support groups in your area?

I prefer this site for support, but some folks benefit from face to face meetings.

Where do you live? I'm in VA and work in DC.

It isn't to late. You can get back on track, and you can do this. Join a gym like lady fitness, get a trainer, and follow the diet again. You will probably be amazed how fast you can lose those gained back. Set your mind to it and you can do it. Best Wishes, djzlady96
