The operation is a tool, not a definitive solution.
Dear patients and friends,
Bariatric surgery is a powerful intervention that transforms the lives of thousands of people. However, it is sometimes the case that some patients experience weight regain over time. This is an often taboo reality, but one that is essential to understand in order to address it better.
But here's an important reality:
Bariatric surgery modifies your anatomy, but it doesn't change your lifestyle habits or the complex hormonal mechanisms of hunger.
In this short video clip, I explain why weight regain occurs and, more importantly, how we can intervene to regain control of your health journey.
Key factors often involved:
Progressive enlargement of the stomach pouch or eating habits that “stretch” the system
✔️ The return of hormonal cravings (the return of “food noise”)
Loss of nutritional and medical follow-up after a few years
Nutritional deficiencies that affect metabolism
Underlying psychological mechanisms that influence the relationship with food
At Physimed, we don't judge, we support. We have developed expertise in helping patients who have undergone bariatric surgery to stabilize or reverse weight regain.
