Is weight loss forever? What risk do I have to regain the weight I’ve lost?

Weight loss is definite.

However, if the patient once lost the weight, acquires very unbalanced dietary habits, usually due to severe emotional problems, can regain some of the lost weight even in the operation of Gastric By-Pass.

In the Lap Band operation, part of the lost weight can be recovered with repeated and permanent intake of sweet and hyper caloric foods. In the Gastric Tube can also happen, but with more difficulty. The intervention that helps the patient the most is the Gastric Bypass.
