after having gastric bypass surgery and losing all the weight you needed to, is it possible to gain it back?

Answer 1

Hi, it is possible to gain it back, if you try to eat more food and or more of the sugary foods it can stretch your stomach out and could cause you to gain all of your weight back if not more! Hope I helped!

Answer 2

No, I have a friend who had this sugery this past November. She has lost 100lbs. She starves herself for a night at the bars or a backyard cookout. Seriously, she can not eat if she will be drinking. She can not eat if she will be going out for dinner with friends. Your stomach is the size of a WALNUT after the surgery!! There is no way you could ever eat enough to gain back the weight with a stomach that size. Its impossible.

There are serious side affects associated with the surgery tho, and should only be used as a last alternative. Recovery isnt always easy either. You also have to take Liquid vitamins every day for the rest of your life because you cant eat enough healthy food to provide your body with all the nutrients it needs to keep working properly.

Answer 3

The average person keeps the weight off for 5 years. Some people don't loose the weight at all because they don't change their eating habits. They keep eating foods that are high in calories. Then there are the possible medical problems. Surgery is a last resort.

Answer 4

yes, in only a few years, my niece in Virginia, just has gained 80% back. I was scheduled for a DDS in 2001. I chicken'd out. Lucky for me. Now I am in great shape.

don't do it! do what I did.


After trying for 10 years. I finally lost 150+ lbs (12 stone) and kept it off for over 4 years now. I've beaten 3 terminal diseases and I am now in amazing health, all around, not just thinner.

I did it without medicine, workouts, religion, going hungry or hating my food and without an operation or secret formula. I had tried counting: calories; carbs; fat; etc. I had tried jogging, swimming, weights, aerobics, crazy medicines and starving! But nothing ever worked well or lasted very long.

I also had Hypertension, High Blood Pressure, Chronic Asthma, vision and hearing loss. constant colds and ills, annual flu or pneumonia and more. I was approved for bypass surgery and taking usually between 16 and 20 pills a day.

Answer 5

Gastric Bypass Surgery is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges gastric bypass surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.I have also read that they arrange financing for american and canadian patients as gastric bypass surgery is not covered by insurance.

They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your obesity surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.If you still havent got your surgery done,you are better off getting it done in India.
