Sorry I don't know the answer to your question. However this is why I
cringe everytime someone says "XXX amount of pounds gone
forever!". They seem to think WLS is a magic cure that once the weight
is gone it can never come back.
I did'nt want WLS as so far, everyone in my area that I've known personally
who had it, has gained, all, most or more weight back since! So I went into
wls knowing that it was up to ME to keep diligent and NOT let it come back
on. But I too have strugles, so I'm not criticing anyone else. Hopefully
someone here will have the answer to your question. Just know you are NOT
alone. It seems once we are fat, our bodies (and sometime
"minds") want us to go back. Good luck.

You might want to go to the "communities" link above and look
through the different community boards that are available. One might be the
"revision" board where you might get some input.

If you go to yahoo to the Gastric Bypass or WLS in the groups, you will
find a lot of boards that discuss WLS issues. There is a
GastricBypassPostop group also. I belong to several groups on there and
most groups are fantastic for support all the way around. You will always
find the "know it alls" who will imply that they know everything
and are the only ones who have it right, but the rest of the people are
extrememly supportive. Not everyone gains back the weight. I know several
who are from 5 to 20 years out and haven't gained the weight. You will
also find information on these boards about how to manage your eating and
get back on track if you do start gaining. Good Luck!

One of the best groups on yahoo for post ops of greater than 1 yr that are
experiencing weight gain is OSSG_Off_Track. You can join the group at
