Post-Bariatric Surgery
Our Medical Specialties

Are you experiencing weight regain after bariatric surgery?    

You are not alone and you have not failed.  Obesity is a disease that requires long-term treatment.  Many patients have had significant success with weight loss initially after surgery with a stalling of weight loss or regain.  Many times this phenomenon has little or nothing to do with “slipping back into bad habits”.  Often, this return of unwanted weight is driven by underlying metabolic and hormone issues as well as genetic predisposition.
 

Weight regain happens commonly as early as 18 months after bariatric surgery.  You may also be experiencing a stalling of weight loss.  Research reported in multiple medical journals confirm that starting medical weight loss measures when weight loss slows or stops after surgery is a key time for intervention.
