Are ok: Salads are generally tolerated ok after a gastric bypass. But i typically have patients wait close to 3 months before introducing raw vegetables and salads. Although, every patient is a little different as far as what foods are tolerated. So try it and see how it goes..

Yes. : Salads are fine once you are past the early post op time period designated by your surgeon's team. Just be careful of dressings, as many of them are rather high in dietary sugars. Higher amounts of dietary sugars can cause dumping syndrome.

Yes: yes, it may take few weeks after surgery before you can eat leafy greens. Watch the calories in the dressings!
