I had WLS in 2004 and have now gained back almost 70 of the 170 lbs that I lost. I was very sick and in and out of the hospital and lost weight very quickly. I'm adding on the pounds and I need help I never had a support group that I could go to for help because my doctor moved to another hospital and you know how doctors are they don't like to touch each others work. Started over eating again and not eating the right foods, depression and having a back and neck injury doesn't help the situation.  What can I do to get back on track?Cry

More than your doctor, you need a support systemof people who can identify with your story and your issues ad buddy up with you.  Curves is a great womens' gym that offers training and support, weight watchers has you doing weekly weigh ins and offers support groups, over eaters anonymous is a fabulous group and there are others - even online support groups available 24/7.

So you need to find an eating and exercise plan and then use one of those (or more than one) support outlet.  If you're an emotional eater - then you may need therapy and even need to consider anti-depressants as a way to help you even temporarily "cope."

Get the help and support you need - but the rest lies with your own motivation - the doctor is just a resource - there are other answers and solutions out there.
