Thanks. And it's not like i have to stay with this doctor. If he see's weight gain, it he is annoyed. I told him the lap-band is not the magic cure all to weight loss. Thanks again.

You might be making the mistake as I was doing; drinking your calories. Sometimes we are aware as to what we are doing but still fall into the trap. In 14 months no weight loss, something is wrong. After looking at a photo of myself , I woke up real fast. I did not like what I saw. These post are very helpful as well as encouraging. I am out of double heel surgery since September. I have been able to walk without the aid of a crutch since February. I have now made a conscious decision to put major restrictions on my juice intake. I will also walk at least 20 blocks or 30 minutes exercise daily. I'm slow it it, but again the photo i saw of myself i never want to see again.

Hello all, Let me just say, regaining the weight is very easy. When I was banded in 2010, I thought this was the cure all to weight loss. Bottom line, behavioral modification is the key. Prior to banding I was 270, I went down to 215. I was hospitalized periodically during the months of September 2012 through November for an Achilles tendon rupture. My weight is now fluctuating; 220-235; I gained weight! I am terrified to go to my physician because of my weight gain. He is aware that I was on strict bed rest, he explained, I could still do exercises while sitting up. He threatened to remove my band if I am not compliant. My fear is that my weight has been 215 for months prior to surgery. I have been drinking a lot of juice that is loaded with calories, I eat on the average per day of two cups of starchy food items, one palm size meat item, two cups of vegetables, and the rest is juice and coffee with cream and sugar. These food items are divided through the day. I am definitely not hungry. In all reality, I still should have lost weight! I last saw him in August, I was 215. Prior to surgery, I was doing spin aerobic three times a week. Now that I am on my feet and can walk, I walk 2-3 miles three times per week—the scale has not moved. What the heck do I do??? I need to get back on track. I am feeling like I went under the knife for what?
