How Do I Loose My Weight?
In 1999 I had gastric bypass surgery. I lost 130 pounds and kept it off for 13 years. I am now gaining weight back. In the last year and a half I have gained 60 pounds. I am 54 years old and want to know if there is another procedure I can get to help me lose the weight I have gained?

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
After the bypass surgery, there will be a heart failure, and weight gain due to the edema and liver enlargement etc. That is why diuretics are used after the bypass.
Restriction of the salt is one of the ways of preventing the heart failure.
Prevent anemia, by taking more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods.
As general measures, minimize the calories, fats, oils, and junk foods.
wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
