Are the effects of post-operative gastric reduction surgery permanent?

  Gastric reduction surgery is a simple intake restriction type of surgery among the many types of bariatric surgery, and the changes to the body after surgery are relatively simple. After gastric reduction surgery, people have a significant feeling of fullness without eating much because their stomach capacity has decreased significantly. This change is a very powerful help for a person who needs to lose weight.  Will the stomach still look like this after successful weight loss?  During the initial stage of stomach reduction surgery, when eating less but needing to avoid malnutrition, various dietary principles need to be followed, such as eating smaller and more frequent meals, eating meat first then vegetables and then main meals. If such an eating process has to continue after successful weight loss, I believe many fat people will hesitate not to do this surgery.  In fact, after six months to a year after the stomach reduction surgery, the body has obvious weight loss effect, and the reduced stomach will have a certain expansion with long-term eating, because the human stomach is like a balloon and has stretch. Every time you eat on a full stomach, the stomach will be in a state of stretching, which will make the stomach expand in the long run. Of course, the degree of expansion is limited, and it does not mean that the stomach will expand to its pre-surgical size as time goes on.  The surgery removes two-thirds of the stomach, effectively limiting the amount of food, followed by a certain stretching and expansion to gradually return to a normal diet without causing weight regain, so the weight loss effect of gastric reduction surgery is quite efficient and stable.  Since the majority of this group suffers from a variety of obesity-related conditions, sometimes a single intake restriction surgery is not enough to treat a specific group of fat people, but a hybrid gastric bypass surgery with both intake restriction and nutrient absorption reduction plays a huge role in weight loss and diabetes treatment.
