We've all seen the photos, amazing before and after transformations thanks to gastric bypass surgery. Yes, weight loss surgery is able to produce tremendous results, but the people who experience the most weight loss and keep it off don't depend on the surgery alone, they make changes in their lifestyle as well.

Successful weight loss surgery patients, whether they have (lap band) adjustable gastric banding surgery or roux-en-y gastric bypass surgery, exercise, watch what they eat and keep their meal sizes small. They also limit or eliminate sugar from their diet. There are two good reasons to skip the sugary drinks and foods, sugar can contribute to dumping syndrome and the empty calories can seriously hamper weight loss efforts.
