I had gastric bypass 4 years ago I went from 397 lbs to 164 lbs. It's amazing plus I'm pregnant with twins now.. if you have any questions just ask.

Losing weight is a lifestyle change that takes hard work and dedication. Gastric bypass has a 5% success rate because most people keep eating the same food, just not as much as before. Everyone I know who has had the surgery (family, friends, coworkers, etc.) lost weight after the surgery but gained a lot of it back. A coworker got it done 2 months ago and she's only lost 19lbs since. She's still eating the same foods, just not as much.
