The weight rebound of 5-10 pounds-where does it go?



Recommended Posts

I’m curious from what I’ve read once you get down past your goal you typically rebound up 5 to 10 pounds or 5 to 10%. Where does that weight settle at? Did it go back to your hips,stomach, chest everywhere?

I rebounded 12 lbs from my lowest weight (people who started out where I did (373) typically rebound more than 5-10 lbs, so that 5-10% of weight lost that you quoted is probably more accurate). I guess it kind of went all over. It's hard to say because I'm still within a normal BMI range, and I've also had plastic surgery with liposuction, so I really don't have any extra fat anywhere..

I don’t think you can predict where you gain or lose weight. We all have different body types.

My Surgeon said a 5 to 20-pound bounce after goal may happen. I had a gain my third year. I could have stayed at a higher weight; I decided to work it back down.

A ten-pound gain goes to my mid-section but I can still wear the same size clothing.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
