Regain - uggggh
Feb 21, 2010
I lost 103 lbs and then got complacent. I didn't have an unfill but I only had about 2 cc in my 4 cc band, I just got lazy. I put 26 lbs back on over the course of one year. I was so scared to go to my yearly but figured that was the only way to make a new start.In October 2009 I went back to my nut/surgeon at 220 lbs vrs the 197 they has last seen. I got a .5 cc fill and over the next two months yo-yo'd from 220-226. In January I went back to Atkins - dropped down to 215 and then went on vacation. Right back up to 225.
The band has helped me lose over 80lbs but now I have to be much more aware and strict than in those first couple years post op. I have been following my low carb lifestyle for three weeks now and I'm down to 213 so yes it can be done. You just need to find what works for you and stick with it. Without my band - I'd be back at 300 in a heart beat
