Hi there. I hate to say it but I'm in the same boat too. I had my lap band surgery in March 2010. Starting weight of 269. I am 5feet 3 inches tall and I lost 75 pounds and was able to maintain that loss for 2 years. Couldn't seem to get lower. I have always been a stress eater and the last 2 years I have gained back 50 pounds and feel horrible. I am 62 years old with three different kinds of arthritis and fibromyalgia. This is the reason I had the surgery, to help with the pain I have from these ailments. The last 2 years have been extremely stressful at work and home. I live by myself and have turned to food to relieve the stress. I am going back to my Dr. on the 15th of April for a checkup and adjustment and to meet with a nutritionist. My health is really poor and I know the weight gain is partly the cause. I really need a mentor and support so I can get back on track. I kept thinking that the band wasn't working, but I know it was me that wasn't working with the band. I want to be healthy and strong and able to do the things I love when I retire. Losing the weight is a big part of that. Is anyone willing to mentor me and help me out?
