I have never had weight loss surgery, but I couldn't help but wonder if your doctors have explored other possible reasons for your weight issue. Have they checked your thyroid? Sleep? Water retention?

I was over 350 and pounds, and it turned out that I was carrying 130 pounds of water weight and was in congestive heart failure. I would consider having a thorough checkup and seeing if there is another cause behind it.
