Hello everyone,
My name is Gabby and I have some concerns about being post op more than a year out. I went to a wedding this weekend and ran into some people I hadn't seen in a few years. Apart from not being recognized because of all the weight I have lost(by the way I'll be 1 year post op on Dec 16 and have about 15 lbs to go to be at my ideal weight.) Some of the people I talked to had people with them that had the GBS about 5 years ago and had gained there weight back, Of course this terrified me. Is it possible that the GBS done before is different from the one's being done now? They didn't seen to know about their intestines being re-routed, so I guessing that they just started over eating again. I know that when I take that extra bite, I feel terribly uncomfortable, just wondering if that goes away in time( I hope Not, that's when I know to stop eating). Has anyone out there experience gaining weight? I know is normal to regain a few pounds, but getting back to how I was just terrifies me.
