I met a lady when I was going through y orientation for WLS that had  WLS , successfully lost all her weight, then became ill with kidney troubles,( had to have a transplant) and from the medications and such she gain all her weight plus more back and was getting a revision.
Just FYI
there can be other causes for regain after weight loss surgery other than making  poor choices and eating and has nothing to do the person!.

Not trying to SLAM anyone just offering enlightenment!

Howdy, stranger!!!  I still lurk, but seldom post. 

I've kept it in decent check on weight, but it is a constant struggle.  As I type, I'm thinking of the next thing I will eat.  I've learned slowly what I can get away with, and this is not healthy learning. 

I'm only up a clothing size from the post-surgery low, and my co-morbidities are still gone but I wonder about the long-term.  I have been pushing sugar, and having some scary blood-sugar drops, but I persist.  I'm hoping that the next iteration of the surgery will have more information on the mind-gut connection. 

I'm glad to see you posting and to see that you are not giving up the fight!  I am going to do some personal research on medications as well, I think there may be help there.

We have some folks on this board who are posting as experts, it is good to see another old-timer with the real experiences to base commentary on as well.

Let me get this right...your 1 year out and preaching to someone MUCH further out than you,  I remember when I used to know everything too..... then time went by and I learned that I was still in my honeymoon phase.   Wait a few years before you tell someone further out than you what's what.  
Not slamming you, just giving you some strong advice.

Hi Dora!
First of all, thanks to everyone for the input.  I take no posts as rude....all is true. 

How are you Dora??  Nice to see an old friendly face:-)  Yeah, I miss everyone too...it sure did help getting to chat with everyone in the group.  I am thankful that I am fairily healthy after wls...I know some have problems with their stomachs, digestion, etc., so very thankful for that at least.  I know I did not have enough support/post surgery help to deal with the reasons why we eat things that we shouldn't.  All you listed is very familiar to me.  Sometimes I feel I've lost the will to try to get back at it.  I do know, after much thought, that I don't want to fool with a major revision of my pouch, etc. in a surgical sense....it's true...we have to deal with the food issues before anything else will work, but I had considered a possible lap band, but I think I just really need to get moving and making better choices.  Maybe we could get a chat together with some of us oldtimers on here once or twice a week...just to see if we can help each other again...The Buddy System:-)  Miss my buds!!  Of course, any and all on the board could join in.  There...I feel  better just posting today:-)  lol  Have a great one!  T
