I had Lap Band on Dec. 11, 2007. I lost 42 pounds and then got hungry and gradually started to eat more and more. I have now gained back the 42 pounds plus. I had a fill in March, I thought that would fix the problem but it did not help at all. I can still eat anything and do. I know what I need to eat and how much but I can't seem to get started. I though the lap band would help but I am just like I was before the surgery. Anybody have any ideas on how to jump start or get back on the wagon? I am desperate. I paid for the surgery myself and the fill. I hate myself for wasting all that money.
