My understanding was that since the stomach is a lot smaller, you can only handle small portion sizes and that’s how you end up losing weight and having it stay off. I do coding for a medical clinic and I see a fair amount of chart notes of people who had the procedure done (and not the temporary one where they can remove the band, either), and they end up gaining a ton of weight back a few years later.
How/why does that happen? Is it the body adjusting somehow?

Same way people who haven’t: they consume more calories than they expend. Surgery makes the stomach smaller to make it harder to consume a lot of food but these food addicts are addicts and are more than capable of stretching their stomachs back to gargantuan size by not adhering to their diets and/or consuming a ton of calories through liquids.
