Weight gain after lap surgery



I recently had bypass surgery for weight loss. I did lose some weight initially but have regained it all back in 4 months. What now?

Well you are in tough s..t. Once weight gain recurs after surgery, it means two things- either the surgeon did a terrible job or that you did not stop eating. What you have to understand is that weight loss surgery does not suppress the appetite center and thus, almost every does regain weight. 

The only way to prevent weight gain is to enter into an exercise program. I do not recommend undergoing revision surgery- it is fraught with complications and you could be worse off, Best advice, start to walk and if you remain motivated and determined, you will lose the weight
