I need help!!!
I had my lap band removed in Oct. 3024. This was not my decision, my band had eroded. I have gained about 45 lbs back in the last 4 yrs. I am so depressed over this and I am making my family miserable. If could lose the weight O would be happier. This has even caused me anxiety. My doctor has recommended me taking a antidepressant to feel better again. I need advice from anyone who had are is taking one thst will not make me bigger bUT male feel better. Also which diet to follow Weigh****chers, low carb etc. I am about to go crazy over this.
This may not be the best board for this question. Before surgery, I had my best luck with weigh****chers long term. It was the only diet where I lost weight and then did not gain it all back and more. I lost 60 lbs and gained back 40 which is better than when I was on Atkins when I losted 70 and gained back 90. Now, that is not necessarily Atkins' fault.

Stalls are your body's way of telling you not to get too cocky.

Have you considered finding a new doctor - I understand that most lap bands are taken out before the 5 year mark and then the patient has WLS. I seems as though your doctor has left you to flounder on your own. Time to see someone else.
