Hello I am 47 and almost 3 years post op and I'm looking for support buddies. I had gastric bypass Feb 13th 2019 and I'm struggling right now and could really use a support system outside my home.

Hi. I had my gastric bypass July 2019 and also struggling. I’m older than you (62) and I have gained back 30 pounds after losing 140 pounds. It can be overwhelming.

im curious about the weight gain on the RYN, how is that possible with having no stomach? What is it that stretches? I thought with RYN weight gain was tougher? Im having my RYN tomorrow.

You still have a stomach pouch after RNY. It's quite small, and is connected directly to the jejunum, bypassing the duodenum. "Gastric bypass" is actually kind of a misnomer because it doesn't bypass the stomach, it bypasses the upper part of the small intestine.

If you graze eat constantly the weight comes back with RNY. It’s still work and keeping good habits that makes you loose or maintain weight with RNY.
