a lot of people regain their weight if they're not careful - it's only a tool - just like weight watchers is a tool. and there ARE INDEED risks associated with the surgery, and there are ways to minimize them [notice i didn't say GET RID OF THEM!].
getting 'sick' from sugar and fried foods is common - it's called dumping, and it's a sign to stop eating that stuff. and many people become lactose intolerant after the surgery -
i'm wondering if your surgeon explained the risks and lifestyle you needed to follow. no matter what, though, if WW works for you and your husband, that's wonderful.
WLS will work only if we work with it, not against it. and that's why we always say around here that ya gotta do your homework before going into surgery, and ya gotta be prepared for post-surgery changes! ALL kinds of changes!
