My Surgery was July 1st 2003. I have gained some weight back. I have mega stress & blame some on the meds I take to help me deal with the stress. But also the cravings & loss of willpower.

me too. I'm 10 yrs out in july, did well for first 7 then things happened with family and I have gained over the last 3yrs, looking to get back to surgeon this month as I get a little time for 'ME' to get back on track.wish I could say its my pouch but doubt it and know I screwed up.

When I was 8 years out I had pretty much gained back the 80 lbs I had lost when I first had surgery....10 lbs a year just sorta  crept back.  It seemed like nothing I did helped.  Alot was age I know, but I ate pretty good, exercised and still was gaining in my disparity I tired something my daughter had used to lose weight.  I tried hcg, the real stuff, and with in months all the weight plus the last 20 I could not lose after surgery were gone, now two years later I have kept it off.  I am 4 weeks out after having plastic surgery for my bat wings, face/neck lift and breast lift.  Plastic Surgeon wants me to have a lower body lift to get the bottom matching the top.  Do not give up, I was convinced I was doomed to live as a fat person, not true, do not give up on yourself...It may have taken me 10 years to get here, but I am here!!!
