How many years have you kept your weight off after gastric bypass?

Question

I've heard of many people eventually gaining their weight back on after a gastric bypass surgery. I am curious to know ~ from those who have had it, how long they have kept the weight off.

Answer 1

19 years, and after having 2 children. from 198 to 130.

Answer 2

I have a friend who had that done over 20 years ago and she still hasn't gained it back. At first, though, she said she had to make herself even eat one spoonful of food because she was never hunger. She weighed close to 400 pounds and now weighs about 160. She is 5'10", so that is not too much. The lowest she got was 150, so she has only gained 10 pounds in 20 years. Not too bad, huh?
