Will a pouch reset diet or a liquid diet and a fill get my lap band working again!?

ruizm625
I had lap band surgery in 2010 and went from 276lbs pre op to 184lbs post op which took me about a year and a half to lose. In 2013 I gained some weight, then in 2015 I gained about 40lbs. had an upper g.I and it concluded I had a dialated esophagus, they removed my fluid and put me on liquids for a month. a year later where I found a bariatric office who refilled me to 4ccs. I feel some restriction at times a year later and certain foods don't agree but I am still very heavy now at 298lbs.
