I was asked a great question yesterday during a bariatric surgery information session.

'You said that after bariatric surgery, I need to adhere to different diet/lifestyle/physical activity for the operation to work effectively. I tried to make changes to my diet, lifestyle and physical activity many times before, I lost some weight and then put the weight back on.
Why do you think I am much more likely to succeed with bariatric surgery?'
A great question!
The answer is simple though.
Your body, in normal circumstances, prevents you from losing weight beyond a specific weight that is very close to your current weight.
A great question!
The answer is simple though.
Your body, in normal circumstances, prevents you from losing weight beyond a specific weight that is very close to your current weight.
So whenever you lose weight, your body tries to get you back to a set weight that is very close to your current weight.
However, bariatric surgery decreases significantly the set weight that beyond which your body tries to restore your weight.

So bariatric surgery provides you with a very powerful tool that allows the changes to your diet, lifestyle and physical activity to work effectively.
A great question that must have come across many people with obesity's minds.

I am glad my patient asked it! (I am always very happy when my patients ask me questions
