HomeBreaking WLS NewsBuilding a Weight Loss Surgery Support Program that Works gwhqadmin July 26, 2009 Breaking WLS News, Life After WLS 6 Comments 6 Responses Margarita Sanchez July 26, 2009 I am 5 years post op. Am very concern at the weight that I have gain back. I am convince that other issues have surfaced and if I don’t take care of them, I’ll be back up to what I lost. I am willing to do whatever it take, but I need the support. I started to see a counselor who my issurance covers and was disappointed with her. I know that it’s up to me but i do need support. Please help or advice me…..I am willing to learn more and do more. Margarita Jeannie July 31, 2009 I gained weight snd took it off again. Lets talk and help each other. Jeannie July 31, 2009 I had my surg 4 years ago. I’m very happy I had it. It really helped me change my life. Judy Calufetti August 2, 2009 I am 2 1/2 years post op and I too have regained some of the weight I lost. My hunger came back after the first 18 months and I was only half way to my goal. I now feel like all the benefits of the gastric bypass surgery are gone and I’m disappointed because I thought I had this weight problem licked and am so depressed and aggravated that the benefits of the surgery were so short lived. No one told me that would happen. If I keep gaining at this rate I will be right back where I started. Does anyone else have this problem and does anyone have any advise? Patrece December 6, 2009 Counseling is a wonderful tool. BUT the journey we are on here, really takes specialized help to work through all of the many issues faced by the wls population. Attending a support grup can help a lot. Also, working with a bariatric life coach can be a very valuable experience in helping us achieve and maintain our goals. Be sure you work with one who is intimately familiar with obesity and weight loss surgery and who has undergone training specifically to assist wls patients. rita July 23, 2010 I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM I HAVEN’T GAINED ALL OF IT BACK BUT ENOUGH TO BE CONCERNED. ANY HELPFUL TIPS. IT’S BEEN 2YEARS. 16 POUNDS DOESN’T SOUND LIKE A LOT BUT B4 U KNOW IT 20, 25 50. AND THAT WOULD TRULY B A WASTE OF ALL THE SUFFERING.
