i think it is 'stapled', still full-size, but 'contained' and restricted by the stapling. and you can gain the weight back. a guy in town lost about 200 pounds in a year and then put it all back on.
i didn't want to ask if the staple had been removed, but i sure wondered. does the stomach just expand slowly if the person eats more than they should? does the staple come undone? it is removed?
anyone should be terrified to have that procedure done after reading the local (fresno area) stats. too high of a death risk.

I worked with two women who had a gastric bipass and both dropped a ton of weight but both gained it back.

It is not so much that it stretches but those who gain overeat but in many many small meals. It is possible to over eat with a stomach the size of a thumb. You just keep it filled.

Mak I had thought that with the reduction your stomach could only hold teaspoon fulls of food therefore you couldnt over eat. It is kind of sad that he is gaining the weight again. I did think he lost too much weight. hopefully he wont gain any more.

I think you have to stay committed to weight loss and people think bypass is a magic bullet. Lots of people keep weight off but lots of people gain it back too. It depends upon how much "work," physical and emotional, you are willing to put into it.

For those on the west coast. You have to really see this spoof to appreciate it. It is good.

A friend of mine just had a gastric bypass about 6 weeks ago. She definitely did it as an "easy" way out because she didn't want to work at losing weight. Since then, she has been physically ill several times because she attempts to eat things she's not supposed to reintroduce yet. She said she's always emotionally hungry, and sick of the protein supplements, cottage cheese, etc. she's supposed to eat. I think she'll gain before she ever takes off all she wanted to.

Randy was pretty funny, and Randy as his parents absolutely hysterical. Randy's mom "that sucked" Too funny. That was probably the best bit of the whole season. Oh and Constantine did a cameo as a greek restaurant owner, very funny.
