Hi I had gastric bypass in April 2008 and four years later I have gained 20 pounds back. I wanted tro know if anyone else has experienced this and if so how do you handle it

Congratulations on your surgery. I had mine may 30, 2012. I can't eat much. I was told over time your stomach grows or something like that. Have you change the way you eat compare to the first time after surgery when you began to eat normal food? Are you cheating fast food restaurant? Drinking diet or regular soda? Not exercising? I'm not an expert but I was told we get comfortable in our body & start doing the no no stuff & end up gaining weight.

Almost everyone I know that has had the surgery loses a lot (if not too much) and ends up gaining like 20lbs back

I agree. I don't think 20 pounds is a whole lot. Just keep an eye on things so you don't keep gaining.

What's the outcome? Did you see the dietician to figure the weigh gain?

Thanks everyone for all of your responses I no longer have a dietician I have moved away since I had my surgey. That is why I have been looking for some hel[p with answers. I do think I need to excercise more but I dont have energy because I'm severly anemic. And on top of that I am always hungry. I take the 20lb weight gain serious I have a long life ahead of me and I need to be healty for my family

I hope you can find another dietician soon. I just got one. Are you taking Iron pills?

Hi Kida

I had RNY in July 08 and after about a year and a half I stopped losing... Which was fine because everyone kept telling me I was getting too skinny. But I too have gained back some weight which is around 30lbs. I know it's because I eat a whole lot more and I stopped working out. I know I need to get back on track so thats why I'm so glad I found this forum. Im also am severely anemic. I have to get Iron intravenously every two weeks. Iron pills and supplements don't give me what I need. But I think the key to getting back is to start some kinda of work out regime and get back into planning meals.

Is this level of anemia normal?

I am 8 years post op and have been anemic for 7 of them. I have met many that are not, so I guess it is individual.

I am also anemic and vitamin D deficient. First RNY 2004. Revision RNY 6/28/2012

I definitely agree . I have also found something online called the 5 day pouch test that I'm gonna try. Have u ever heard about it
