Keys to success, causes of failure

This morning I saw a Facebook photo of a coworker who had surgery a few years ago, and she’s gained back a lot of weight. I know others who have experienced this as well, and it’s one of my biggest fears as I work my way toward bypass in January.

For those of you with long-term success, what do you attribute it to? For those who have experienced re-gain, what do you think contributed? What would you do differently if you could go back?

My doctor hasn’t stressed pre- and post-therapy, but I did bring it up. I think I’ll make my way back to OA and go from there.

Thank you for sharing!
