What surgery did you have? Do you take vitamins, and when were your last labs drawn?

That's a start. You will also want to take a good look at your labs. Certain deficiencies, such as D, have been associated with regain.

Best of luck.

What's your oxygen saturation like? Low O2 levels will slow your metabolism. I know it's harder than ever, but now is the time that you MUST do regular exercise, like walking. A LOT.

With COPD you haven't been put on any steroids lately, have you? That will balloon you up quick as a horned toad.

When you say you had "the gastric" I am assuming you mean Gastric Bypass or RNY, correct? 

What is your diet like?  What are you eating?  How much?  Have you changed what/how much you are eating recently?  What is your liquid intake?  What meds are you taking for the COPD?  When was the last time you had your labs run and saw the doc?

You do know that your body will essentially make up for most of the malabsorption of your surgery and that you will be absorbing most of all the calories you eat, after 3-5 years (assuming you DID have RNY).  This could explain your weight gain.

OR your body has decided that 105-115 is far too low for you to weigh.  What is your height?

Why do you only use your inhalers once a week? Shouldn't you be using them every day?
