I am very sorry to hear about your tumor in your stomac. That is not a very fun ordeal to deal with to say the least! So the surgen performed the Gastric Bypass when they took out the Tumor? Anyway, to answer your question, There are lots of ways to gain the weight back. Lack of excersise, poor diet such as eating fatty foods, eating High callieried foods, depression, stress..ect.. 

I gained some of my weight back due to depression which caused me to eat wrong and no exercise. All this happened to me over the last 8 to 9 months. ( divorce can be a bitter ending sometimes ) considering my X wife and I had the surgery together. But anyway, Try to stay on a healthy diet and try to atleast exercise 3 times a week for 1 hour if not more.

Hey there, thanks for the offer. I was a year out on October 9th and have lost 111 pounds. My question to you is how did you gain weight back? My doctor said that the only way I would gain back is through high calorie liquids. What do you think? I would hate to go back to what I used to be. I had always wanted the surgery but the two times I tried there was something hapoening in my life that prevented ne from doing so. I ended up in ER with chest pain and coughing up blood, very weak. I was bleeding internally and needed 8 pints of blood and they found that I had a tumor in my stomach. So, they did the surgery to get the cancer out long story short! It was a real struggle, I almost lost my life after surgery. But I am here now! Thanks for any advise :-)

Hello,
My name is Matt Williams. I had the Gastric Bypass October 31, 2006.
I am going through school to become a Bariatric Nurse and I want to
offer my assistance to anyone that needs to speak to someone Pre Op or
Post Op. I have been through alot and I'm sure I can help you out if
you may need it from a Post Op patient. I have lost over 150 Lbs
within my first 2 years, But unfortunatly I have gained some back but
I'm back on a very strict diet and exercise program.

I made a blog 2 years ago that outlines my experiences in a first
person perspective that I keep updated almost everyday. The URL is:
http://mynewbeginin g.blogspot. com/

My Email is mwnnva79@yahoo. com. Don't be shy if you need to ask me a
question. More then likely I've been there and done that..lol

Thank You,
Matt Williams
