Going to Weigh****chers after Lap Band Surgery

   I had Lap Band Surgery 5 years ago. Since that time, I've gained back 18 lbs and I am very unhappy with myself.  I feel I must do something I never wanted to do again which is return to Weigh****chers. I've been to WW probably 10 times throughout my life prior to surgery.
Part of me says I've failed , but the other part says "The only failure is not to try."
During these five years, I've slowly decreased exercise and let more sugar creep back into my diet.
I said to myself that I would never been one of those lap banders that started to gain it back, but I have.
So I ask folks opinions of going to Weigh****chers after Lap Band Surgery. I know others have done this.
Thoughts?

Bobbi, I am not a bander I had the RNY over 2 years ago.  I can say one thing, if it works for you then go for it.   If you want to get back to basics then do what you need to do.  If you know that you are not exercising enough track that or start with tracking what you eat.  How much protein are you getting?  Are you drinking enough water? 

I wish I could help you more but know that all it is a tool and if you work it it does work.

Good luck and nice to meet you.

Hi Bobbi,

I am 4 years out, and have really struggled the last year. I have been thinking of going back too, just to get tools to get back on track.  I see you live in Portsmouth (?)  I work in Portsmouth.  Maybe we could start and go together and help each other.

Thanks to everyone for your kind responses. I went to WW this week as a visitor to try it out and felt very comfortable. The staff were very welcoming. I plan to go today and rejoin before the special ends tomorrow.
When I did the Pros and Cons, there was only one "Con" and that was the fear of failing which certainly wasn't enough to keep me away. I'm failing now!
Thanks again and I'm feeling positive about much WW success.
