Dear Nightingale2u,
I saw your post about the weight gain and if you knew then what you know now you would have had the by-pass. I too feel the same exact way! I have spent more time and money running to the doctors with fills and unfills and another problem is the place I go to is 50 miles from my home and what a hassle making appointments meet my schedule, forget it. I wonder how many others feel our same way. By the way It's been almost 3 years for me since banding and I've lost 55 pounds.

Weight gain after surgery. What to do?

Stalls and small gains are very common. You've already lost 60 pounds! Well done! I had many plateaus/stalls along the way. Check out a graph I did of a year of weight loss. http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/335141-one-year-of-weight-loss-graphed/
Best of luck to you!

Oh, the journey I've traveled.
My weight gain started after a very depressing first marriage & continued on through single parenthood. By the time I met my current husband (of almost 20 yrs now), I guess I was comfortable with myself & my terrible eating habits. I'm not sure I can pinpoint the moment I decided to have the gastric sleeve, but like many, I got to the point where I was so damn depressed that I didn't even want to go out. I didn't want to be seen or noticed. I was incredibly embarrassed with myself.
Fast forward, I had my surgery around 2014. Became a weight loss facilitator hosting support meetings for newbies & post surgery. Started a demanding job that took me away from continuing the meetings only to wind up getting laid off 1 1/2 yrs later. Found a temp job but was very unhappy with the commute so I left.
Here's where you need to pay attention. I wound up unemployed for almost 7 months. I became quite depressed and, guess what gained 25 pounds back. UGH, how could this happen, right? Fortunately, once I was employed & allowed myself to become accountable to myself again, I started Weight Watchers. Yea, you would think I knew what I had to do to lose the weight again but I needed the support & something I could 'share' with others.
Here I am, 4 months later & I lost the weight. Pheww... I'm 5'2 and my average weight is around 142 pounds. I may start those support meetings up again in the North Denver area. MIght be a great resource for many as it was when I first did it
