The amount of weight lost after gastric bypass surgery appears to vary widely. From what I read, it most depends on how dedicated the patient is to following a proper diet and exercise following the surgery. Your doctor could gtell you if the surgery is right for you!

Lower Risk With A Gastric Bypass Sleeve Surgery?
If you're extremely overweight and your doctor has suggested a gastric bypass, it may be worth looking into the gastric bypass sleeve surgery first. A sleeve will let your doctor start with a safer operation to help you loose enough weight to make a traditional gastric bypass a safer procedure. With a gastric sleeve, the left portion of your stomach is removed to create a smaller shape that will let you lose the first 100 lbs. or so of weight. Once you've got that weight off, your bariatric surgeon can perform the gastric bypass operation that will help you lose the rest.

Can you shrink your gastric bypass stomach after two years with diet alone?
"Shrinking" your stomach isn't the answer. I'd you think about it, that was the intent of having a gastric bypass. I had my bypass over ten years ago. I initially lost over 100 lbs only to gain it back..More, rather than thinking of my smaller stomach as the answer, I use it as a Weight loss tool. I've now lost 100 lbs through Weight Watchers. Eating healthy foods in healthy portions. Had I realized so many years ago I could lose such a large amount of weight on Weight Watchers NEVER would have put myself through such drastic surgery. Best of luck to you
