Managing
Weight Regain

Weight fluctuation is normal, but significant regain doesn't have to be. We provide the medical tools, diagnostics, and support to get you back on track.

Understanding The Cause

Why Does Regain Happen?

Obesity is a chronic disease. Surgery is a powerful tool, but biology and behavior can sometimes push back. It is not a failure of will; it is a signal to adjust treatment.

Metabolic Adaptation

Over time, the body fights to regain weight by lowering metabolic rate and increasing hunger hormones like Ghrelin.

Anatomical Changes

The stomach pouch or stoma may stretch slightly over years, allowing for larger portion sizes than intended.

Behavioral Drift

Old habits like 'grazing' (eating small amounts constantly) or drinking high-calorie liquids can creep back in.

Early Warning Signs

Catching regain early makes it much easier to reverse. If you notice these signs, schedule a follow-up immediately.

  • Feeling hungry sooner after meals (less than 3 hours)
  • Ability to eat significantly larger portions than before
  • Return of acid reflux or heartburn
  • Weight plateau or gradual increase of 2-3 kgs
  • Cravings for sweets or processed carbohydrates
Doctor Consultation

Don't Wait.

Early intervention prevents long-term relapse. We are here to help, not judge.

Our Approach

The Regain Management Toolkit

We use a multimodal approach to get you back on track, combining medical science with lifestyle support.

Endoscopy

Diagnostic FGS

We perform an Upper GI Endoscopy to check for pouch dilation, stoma widening, or fistulas that might permit overeating.

GLP-1 Injectables

Medical Therapy

Modern weight loss medications (Semaglutide/Liraglutide) can be added to suppress appetite and boost metabolism without further surgery.

Counselling

Behavioral Support

Our psychologists help identify emotional triggers and reset the 'mindset' required for long-term maintenance.

Pouch Reset Diet

Nutritional Reset

A structured 10-day dietary program to shrink the stomach lining and reset satiety signals.

Biometric Tracking

Regular BMI and body composition analysis to track fat mass vs. muscle mass.

Lab Monitoring

Checking for vitamin deficiencies (Iron, B12, D3) which can affect metabolism and energy.

Support Groups

Connect with others who have navigated regain. Peer support is a proven factor in long-term success.
