Just to let you know your not alone. I have not gained weight back but I have had my band for a year now and probably only lost weight about 6 months of it. I also have difficulty with eating the wrong stuff and have had alot of the spitting up/regurgitation. But like you I am trying to change my ways and get with the program. What they don't really tell you when you get the band is that it won't help much with the psychological overeating. That beast is still there. We have to find help with that. Hang in there and best of luck to you.

Hi all. I am also new to this site. I am joining because I am interested in finding answers to help me with some of my issues. I was banded in March 2010. I initially lost about 55 lbs. I started at 295 and am now at about 240. I am 5' 8'' male and 38yrs old. I still would like to hopefully get down to near 170-180 ish. I have stopped losing weight now for about 2-3 months. Of course I am to blame. I have not always ate well and still tend to spend alot of time spitting up/regurging. My family Dr. has given me a year to lower my cholesterol or I will have to take meds. I am looking for answers to the best eating plan for me and how to get myself on track.
