Lost android apk certificate

I have a published app on Google play. I wanted to fix some bugs and upload an updated version. Unfortunately, I lost my certificate, and cannot create the apk without it. Is there a way to recreate it using the same key stored on Google play? Otherwise, I have to create a completely new apk, and I lose all my history and ratings.

From the Android Developers Site:

"Warning: Keep the keystore file you generate with Keytool in a safe, secure place. You must use the same key to sign future versions of your application. If you republish your app with a new key, Google Play will consider it a new app. For more information on settings that must remain constant over the life of your app, see the Android Developer Blog post Things That Cannot Change."
