No reflux, metabolic syndrome under control, and now the rehabilitation journey has begun! 🙌

What is weight regain after weight-loss injections?

Studies show that the effects of these injections (GLP-1, Ozempic, Monjero, Saxenda) last only as long as they’re used. Once the injection is stopped, most patients regain the weight.
That’s why we don’t recommend short-term use. The right approach: a personalized program of at least 1.5 years — building a new lifestyle together with a mentor, dietitian, psychologist, and support group.
Let’s remember: there’s no magic treatment yet that resolves obesity 100% permanently. Our bodies are equipped with a protective system against hunger that’s millions of years old. Real change is possible through sustainable habits. 🌱

Does the weight come back after bariatric surgery? 🩺
One of the most common questions after bariatric surgery is: “Will the weight I lost come back?”
Here’s the truth: about 30% of sleeve gastrectomy patients experience some degree of weight regain. And at the 10-year mark, this rate approaches nearly half for both sleeve gastrectomy and bypass patients alike.
So why does this happen? Because surgery alone isn’t enough. The real deciding factor is whether exercise, an active lifestyle, and proper nutrition become lasting habits. Surgery gives you an opportunity — but it’s behavioral change that makes it permanent.
At our clinic, we don’t just offer surgery — we provide a comprehensive process with mentor follow-up, psychologist support, and programs to address emotional eating. Because lasting success comes from a sustainable lifestyle.

Siblings Özgür and Çiğdem’s bariatric surgery journey 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
Özgür began his journey with Sleeve Gastrectomy 1.5 years ago and has lost 40 kg. Çiğdem, on the other hand, had Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass surgery 16 years ago and has maintained her 60 kg weight loss ever since.
Though these two journeys began in different years and with different methods, they share common ground: regular doctor follow-ups, monthly patient meetings, and healthy eating habits.
Obesity is a chronic disease, and follow-up care is just as important as the treatment process itself. Every patient’s process and needs are different; the appropriate method is determined through examination and necessary tests.

We’re dieting, we’re losing weight… So why do we often regain the weight we’ve lost?
Weight loss is not a process that can be explained simply by having “willpower.”
Long-term restriction, appetite-regulating hormonal mechanisms, the brain’s reward system, emotional factors, and the obesogenic environment we live in can all come together to make weight management more challenging.
What’s more, when we lose weight, our bodies may perceive it as a threat and activate mechanisms that increase appetite.
Another important factor is fat cells. When we lose weight, fat cells don’t completely disappear; they simply shrink. When we gain weight, they can grow again.

That’s why sustainable weight management is not just about short-term diets. It requires addressing physiological, psychological, and environmental factors together.

Why does weight regain occur after obesity treatment?
The body tends to recognize the highest weight it has reached as its “normal” weight. Factors such as genetics, hormones, metabolic rate, and energy balance can make it difficult to maintain weight loss.
Therefore, regardless of whether weight loss is achieved through diet, medication, or bariatric surgery, some degree of weight regain may occur over time. This phenomenon is commonly referred to as weight cycling or the yo-yo effect in the medical literature.
Currently, there is no treatment that can completely eliminate the risk of weight regain after obesity treatment. For this reason, successful obesity management relies on appropriate patient selection, long-term follow-up, sustainable lifestyle changes, and the development of healthy, lasting habits.

GLP-1 analogs can reduce appetite, but healthy and sustainable weight loss is not achieved by medication alone. The success of treatment depends on proper nutrition, regular physical activity, and long-term lifestyle changes.
✅ DO
•⁠ ⁠Start your meals with protein.
•⁠ ⁠Meet your daily protein requirements.
•⁠ ⁠Stay well hydrated.
•⁠ ⁠Include fiber-rich foods in your diet.
•⁠ ⁠Exercise regularly, especially resistance training.
❌ DON’T
•⁠ ⁠Skip protein because you’re “not hungry.”
•⁠ ⁠Skip meals.
•⁠ ⁠Replace meals with coffee.
•⁠ ⁠Assume exercise is unnecessary because you’re taking medication.
•⁠ ⁠Focus only on the number on the scale.
Remember, the goal is not just to lose weight—it is to lose fat while preserving muscle mass. A successful GLP-1 treatment plan combines medication with balanced nutrition, regular exercise, and ongoing professional follow-up.

Do medications commonly known as “stomach protectors” really protect the stomach?
Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) are highly effective medications when used for appropriate indications, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and other acid-related conditions. However, like any medication, unnecessary or prolonged use without proper medical supervision may lead to certain unwanted changes.
In this video, we review endoscopic images demonstrating multiple gastric polyps that may be associated with long-term PPI use.
The key point is this:
For many patients with reflux disease, the problem is not simply excessive stomach acid. If an anatomical abnormality such as a hiatal hernia is present, medications may temporarily relieve the symptoms, but they do not correct the underlying cause.

GLP-1 analogues, commonly known as weight loss injections, have become an important component of obesity treatment today.
But how should we evaluate these therapies at the current stage? What does the future hold? Which patients are the right candidates, and when and how should these medications be used?
To address these important questions from a multidisciplinary perspective, we are organizing a comprehensive meeting on September 12.
This meeting will be held under the leadership of the KEPAN Association, and I am honored to serve as the Chair of the Obesity Working Group for this initiative.
This multidisciplinary consensus meeting will bring together experts from endocrinology, general surgery, nutrition and dietetics, as well as other healthcare disciplines involved in obesity management. Together, we will evaluate GLP-1 therapies from every angle, based on the latest scientific evidence.
I warmly invite all physicians, dietitians, and healthcare professionals with an interest in obesity treatment to save the date September 12.
The detailed program and registration information will be announced soon.
