Does anyone know what causes people to gain weight back after WLS???  Need a heads up so I know ahead of time.  I have heard of a few people now that have gained it back.  How do you push food down by force if your pouch is so small?

I'm 2 years out and have gained 15+ pounds back....

I do not push food down either.....But I have not stuck to the rules.....If you stick to the rules and don't eat things your not supposed to, you'll be fine.....

As you get further out your stomach does get bigger.....At 1 year out you can eat 1 cup of food......Sometimes even more.....

It's really all about calories in calories out.....You must exercise and follow the rules, or you will in time gain some back, IMHO.....This is only a tool, and the 1st year is the honeymoon year, the weight just falls off, after that it is maintenance for most people and that is the hardest stage IMHO......

Good luck.....Kelly

Amen sister !!!  Although I've only gained 3 pounds back -- it is 3 pounds!!!  Keep following the rules and we will all be fine -- forget the rules, forget keeping it off.
