Revision

Hello everyone I have been a non active member for a long time and just thought  I might find someone  who understands my sadness.  Family/ friends dont understand.  Had lapband 10/2006 lost  over 100 lbs.  12/2010 had to have revision (band slipped,) Doctor said he need to let my stomach heal and would replace  it in 5 months.  Guess what ? insurance will not pay for bariatric in 2011.  I have gained 25 lbs back I am depressed and coworkers think i am crazy.   Anyone else been through this?

I sort of understand your problem. I'll bet it is carbs and snacks that are doing you in. Try journaling what and when you are eating and see if you can get back on track and keep from gaining more. I believe when you get your new band or whatever surgery you decide on you'll start losing but if you can get a grip on gaining you'll not be too far behind. As far out from banding as you were I believe you were making some good choices on your own and so try to not dwell on the fact that the band is gone. I know it's hard - I had RNY and it's a daily struggle with me to not eat the wrong things.
Hugs and keep smiling.
