That’s really rude. And inappropriate to ask when most people regain the weight and some after WLS.


I don't care if you think it's rude. It's a legit question and perspective that should be considered.
Someone is considering the possibility of regaining weight after an invasive surgery which put enormous stress on someone's body to force weight loss. Having the surgery done was a big and life altering commitment. If it was done for health reasons, I'm sure the benefits were weighed against the costs and it was deemed necessary. So if someone had good enough reasons to put themselves through the surgery, why would those reasons not still be valid for sticking to a diet plan.
People usually end up doing things because it's an easy path, not necessarily because it's what they want. I would say, consider the reasons for doing the surgery in the first place and ask yourself whether they are still valid.
And yes, most people do regain, but it may not be too late for OP to change course.
