I Know several people who had some type of weight lose surgery in the past 10 years. So many of them are gaining. Or trying diet fads. Makes me worry for the future. I want to maintain a lifestyle change.

Well 20% regain is expected by many programs.

Outside of that, I've found that most people regain larger amounts because they stop going to support meetings when they are years out - they really help keep you on track.

My nutritionist said that we should track our food for life. (I use My Fitness Pal) She says that tracking is essential to keeping the weight off long term. It does seem that it's easier to lose, than to maintain.

Stupid question, but can you regain the weight after VSG. I mean, most of your stomach is gone so there's only so much a person can eat. If losing weight is about Portion Control and you can't each so much, how is it possible to gain weight. A little weight yeah but regain most or half the weight lost? I'm scratching my head.

You can stretch your sleeve out. Also, if you consume HC/HF foods that slide through your narrow sleeve such as ice cream you will regain.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
