HI Dennis,

I have had a gain and it has been unsettling. I find if I do not work out and stick to a low/no carb diet I gain. It is hard on my psyche to keep up the diet constantly and it is even harder to gain when I am not vigilant.

I have even considered another surgery but know it will ultimately end up the same for me. I know a couple people who have gained all their weight back after a procedure and it makes me stop from even considering another procedure. I do have a good friend who had the band and lost 100 lbs and now is going to have the gastric bypass. She has gained about 10 lbs back but she feels confident she has gone as far as she can with the band. She has another 100 lbs to go to reach her goal.

I am interested in hearing more from you.

Sharon
