So what happens after a few years, anyway?

December 15, 2003

I'm so happy to have found this group - I'm 38 and something over 300

pounds, and I'm considering WLS primarily because I want to become

pregnant soon. Don't have much time left for that at my age!

So I'm wondering, for those of you who had surgery a few years ago:

is it true in your experience that most WLS patients gain the weight

back eventually, as I've read? (I'm just starting my research, so I

haven't checked this out carefully yet.) It's hard for me to imagine

how someone with a tiny stomach COULD gain a hundred pounds or more

back, but I keep running into this statement, and I'm wondering...

Thanks for any info you all can point me to!
