Losing weight is hard enough, so let’s make the surgery easier. Gastric reduction surgery is not new to many people, and some people even already know a little about the procedure, but it is limited to a superficial understanding: cutting the stomach. Gastric reduction surgery involves cutting out two-thirds of the stomach, leaving a small portion to hold food and limit the amount of food eaten. Many people may not have a concept of “two-thirds of the stomach”, but here it is understood that the size of the remaining stomach is almost the same as the size of the esophagus. With such a big change in the stomach, the patient’s concern before surgery is the effect on eating after surgery, can he or she still eat normally? After gastric reduction surgery, there will certainly be some impact on eating, but in reality it is not as exaggerated as one might think. The reason most people are obese is that they eat constantly, and it is easier to feel full after a reduction in stomach capacity, so you can no longer eat as constantly as you did before. As your body begins to adapt to the new stomach capacity, the weight loss effect will gradually appear. Of course, the volume of the stomach does not remain unchanged after the reduction surgery, and there will be a slight but very limited expansion of the stomach over time.
