“Will I regain weight after stomach band surgery?”
I am recovering from stomach band surgery. I worry I will regain all the weight in 6 months. I think I am addicted to my foods.

No, you cannot get your weight back because if you eat a lot, you distend the esophagus and vomit and that will result in some food being lost.
Please start counseling.
It is extremely important to get nutritional and psychiatric counseling with any weight loss procedure, both before and after surgery. This can help avoid weight regain. Risk factors for regaining your weight include eating fast food, binge eating, and not weighing yourself at least 1 time per week.
