Bariatric surgery doesn’t just reduce the size of your stomach it transforms the way your hormones work!

Here’s how your body changes hormonally after surgery:

⬆️ CCK: Helps digest fat & protein efficiently.

⬆️ Leptin: Supports weight loss by reducing appetite.

⬆️ Insulin: Controls blood sugar and curbs hunger after meals.

⬇️ Ghrelin: Reduces cravings and food intake.

⬆️ PYY: Suppresses appetite and boosts energy use.

⬆️ GLP-1: Helps regulate blood sugar and promotes fullness.

Bariatric surgery is more than a physical change — it’s a biochemical reset that helps support long-term weight loss and metabolic health.

Why does the stigma around obesity & weight loss surgery still exist? 🤔

Even today, many people living with obesity face unfair judgment — and sadly, this can stop them from seeking the help they need.

Here’s why this stigma is still so common:

🔸 Myths & misinformation — Obesity isn’t just about “willpower.” It’s a complex condition linked to genetics, hormones, metabolism & more.
🔸 Outdated views — Bariatric surgery isn’t “cheating”, it’s a proven, life-changing treatment.
🔸 Cultural pressure, Unrealistic body standards create shame & silence.
🔸 Lack of awareness — Many people still don’t know about modern treatment options.

It’s time to break the stigma & change the conversation 🙌. Seeking help for your health is never something to be ashamed of!
