Why would you be ashamed? Did you have a setback? Yes, are you human? Hopefully! If you were able to do this completely on your own, you would not have had the surgery in the first place. That is true for most of us! Think of yourself before it gets out of hand. Do what is right for you to get the weight back off. Admit that you had a weakness and the weight gain was preventable, or not. Get back on track and quit beating yourself up! A little secret....I bet you are not the first to have a gain....a bigger secret...you are probably one of the few that admits it! I admire you for that. Now, do what's right for you!

Just bite the dust and go back. The sooner you get it over with the better. If you aren't filled properly you will gain weight and the doctor knows that. You are only human, and we fall off the wagon at times, but the best part is we can jump right back on and our band is waiting for us. Good Luck!

Go now - you know if we had lost that first 10#'s when we first gained it - we wouldn't be where we were when we started this lap band venture. Go and be glad that you ONLY gained 10#'s and get it off and start the venture again!

YOU CAN DO IT!

:gluck:

10 pounds is nothing to be ashamed of. A lot of us have over 100 to lose. Just go to the doctor and get back on track. They wont judge. ;)

I've put on 10 lbs in 7 mos. and too ashamed to go back to the Dr.

Newsy: Bless your heart, I am back to my starting wt! All the wt. I lost was there again, talk about feeling awful! I finally bit the bullet and went back to my surgeon. He said some people need a tighter fill, and that all we need to do is fill, and get back on track. Because of embarrassment, I have been struggling with this since January! Your surgeon is there to help. I agree with everyone else, we didn't go thru all of this to feel that way. You will be fine we all will. Your post and everyone's replies have been such a blessing to me. Thank you soooo much! Amy

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
