Hi to old friends and nice to meet you to new ones!
I believe regain is the body's way of recovering from believing it has been starved. It was getting food in but still losing weight due to malabsorption. When malabsorption ends after two or three years it works hard to try to get its weight back.
Regain can be controlled and lost with diet and exercise, just like before surgery.
