Complex: The reasons some stop losing weight after gastric surgery are quite complex and while I am not an expert I suspect in any given case hard to know why. Keep the focus on reasonable solutions and try not to blame yourself and allow yourself to feel disappointed yet remain determined to keep at it and like you did ask for input and support.
