Some people believe that weight gain after Gastric Bypass surgery is impossible. That is a myth. Gastric Bypass is a tool for weight loss, not a magical fix-all. Prior to surgery, patients receive guidelines outlining a post-surgery diet and exercise from their surgeon. These guidelines are important for not only losing excess weight but also to maintain that loss. There are ways to get back on the losing track after gastric bypass. Patients must adhere to the post-surgery diet and exercise regimen outlined for them. Find a weight loss support group is also beneficial to assure continued success on this journey.
