weigh gain after gastric bypass

Question

Me fat again I had my surgery 9 years ago; about 2 years ago i started to gain weight and
now I am almost up to where I was prior to my surgery. I am getting ready to
have foot surgery (had it in 10/07 on left foot) on my right foot and will be in
cast for 8 weeks and boot for months. PLEASE HELP!!! I am so afraid I will get
to 300 + pounds and do not want that. Can I lose the weight I gained and
what do I have to do? I hate being obese again and no clothes fit!!! Do I start
over and eat like I did when I first had the surgery what exercise can I do if I
am unable to get in a pool or stand? I am so ashamed and hate myself for
gaining this weight back. I seem to fail at everything and now this surgery is
a failure too. How embarrassing for me and my family.

Answer
You should pursue/investigate bariatric revision surgery. For those who have been post-surgical for many years and have gained back some or all of the weight they have lost, it is possible that the stomach has gotten large enough that it is no longer restricting intake to the degree that will help maintain a healthy weight. Revision surgery is another attempt at reducing the size of your stomach to the size that will restrict your intake - again - so that you can lose the weight you have gained.

Please contact the surgeon that did your initial surgery, if possible, to discuss this option with him/her.
