Can you gain weight after weight loss surgery? Yes or no?

It is common for weight loss surgery patients to regain weight following bariatric surgery.

Sometimes it’s only 10 or 20 pounds. For some people, it can be 100 pounds or more.

It is important to remember that obesity is a chronic disease and weight loss surgery is not a cure. Surgery is only a tool to help a person achieve significant weight loss when other methods have not worked. But it is up to the individual to maintain the proper diet, exercise, and behavioral changes. Educating yourself and keeping all follow-up doctor appointments is the best way to ensure success.
