Success after 5 years?

Have heard many of stories of gaining the weight back. Does anyone have a success story of losing the weight and keeping it off. I understand a few pounds but is it really possible to keep the majority of the weight off?

@@kimpatcan

yes!!!!

gaining a little weight back???

sure you can :wacko:

12/2011 i had my surgery - lost 105 lbs (GOAL)

now 2+ years post op i fluctuate3-5 lbs over goal :angry:

some people have gained more :o

but..............many more continue to do great, and don't gain

you must always stay on your toes

the sleeve is not a magic pill :huh:

you must always be diligent with your eating for the rest of your healthier, happier, longer life

that being said...........if you gain some weight, going back to basics

working hard again, getting back on track you "should" be able to lose the weight

ou work with the sleeve - and the sleeve will work for you :)

sounds like you are pre-op

i understand you being curious about possible regain

but you haven't even had surgery yet

work hard with the rules et al post surgery

if you "want/must" think about possible gain at some time

use that thought as a reminder/motavator that you must stay true to yourself and your new life by eating correctly

good luck :)
