I had gastric bypass surgery and ended up sicker and heavier than before I ever went under the knife. I got sepsis. I was in and out of the hospital for months. Years later I weighed 410 pounds, more than when I started, and I had to figure out why the surgery that was supposed to save my life nearly took it instead.

In this episode, I'm going to explain exactly what weight loss surgery does and does not fix, and what I wish someone had told me before I booked mine.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Does weight loss surgery fix why you gained weight in the first place?
No, it only makes the stomach smaller. It does not change your digestion, your metabolism, or the habits that caused the weight gain in the first place, which is why so many people see the weight creep back over time even after a technically successful surgery.

Can your body work around bariatric surgery?
Yes. The body is highly adaptive and can shift to softer foods, smaller frequent meals, or liquid calories that bypass the restriction entirely, and this kind of adaptation can lead to significant regain even years after a successful operation.

What should you check before scheduling weight loss surgery?
Ask what is happening in your digestion right now, what the plan looks like from month one through month seven after the procedure, and who on your team will actually address the root cause instead of just the mechanics of the surgery itself.
