Hi
I underwent baratric surgery in 2016 and for the first 5-6 years, I lost weight very easily. During the last 2 years, I have been experiencing an increased appetite and weight gain. I have started going back to gym this year but the weight keeps on increasing. So any tips from long term gastric bypass patients on how to loose wwight at this stage will be appreciated
