After nearly 6 years and losing over 150 pounds, my weight began to creep back up. Back to the Dr and a fresh fill..I amtrying to get back on track! I wonder if there are others that have gained and managed to get the weight back off!

I'm still less than a year into this process, but I'm glad to hear you're back on track! This is good news to me-- I went with this surgery precisely because it's always possible to adjust again if you have trouble in maintenance.

Good luck to you!

All I can say is great job! You lost a lot of weight, realized you put some back on and are now doing something about it. Kudos to you!! I haven't lost as much weight as you but did regain a little back and am happy to say I lost it all! I still have about 29 pounds to go until my first large goal (98 pounds) and then it's only 30 more until I'm at goal - I can't wait! Thanks for the inspiration you have provided by sharing what happened. No doubt, you'll have it all lost soon!

Good luck! :rolleyes:

A little over a year ago my weight had started to creep up until before I knew it, I was 15 lbs heavier. I had missed an appoitment with my lap band surgeon and thought I could just wait until my next one. Thankfully, like you, I came to my senses and called my surgeons office and got a fresh fill. I was able to lose those 15 lbs pretty quickly and even a few more. Just had a check up last week and didn't need a fill.. but going to make sure not to miss my next one.. so I can make sure to maintain my fill level.

Good job getting back on track & good luck!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
