A member asked:

Could you tell me what happens ten years after a gastric bypass?

Gastric bypass: 10 yrs after gastric bypass you will probably maintain most of your weight loss but may regain some of the weight back due "fallin off the wagon" , so to say. Meaning you liberalize your eating habits cause now food is going down easier.

10yrs after bypass: Hopefully nothing. We hope that your bypass anatomy stays the same and that you maintain your weight loss. People can regain weight if they overeat, eat junk food, or don't exercise. You have to constantly work at it. Sometimes the weight gain is due to stretching of the pouch or anastomosis or both. In general though, people do fine 10 years out from surgery.
