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?

I had a bleeding ulcer due to nsaid’s and blood thinners. for the years it took to properly heal I lost weight. What if surgical food aversion therapy (Bariatric) could simply involve a slight cautery done by endoscope?
