  You can expect to lose two thirds of your excess weight after two years of getting the gastric Bypass surgery. It will take a long time before your body can recover but once you lose the excess weight that you have, you will not gain it back again due to the fact that your stomach is not the same as before.

  Dr. Kavita

  After weight loss surgery, you need to follow a dietary guideline that suits your nutritional needs. The patient will probably follow the stage 1 diet for the first 4-6 weeks after surgery. The foods that are included in this diet are soft and mushy foods or with pureed consistencies. You can only take solid foods after 4-6 weeks of surgery or until the physician allows it.

  Weight loss surgery doesn’t work every time because its effect varies on every patient. Patients who have a successful surgery can possibly go back to their normal activities but for patients who develop complications, the results may not be successful at all.
