Why the study?
Postoperative weight regain after bariatric surgery relates to comorbidity relapse and adverse biochemical changes, but its metabolic impact across postoperative phases required further assessment.

Supports monitoring metabolic profiles in post-bariatric weight regainers; leaves open causal links and intervention effects.
Does pathological weight regain after bariatric surgery worsen metabolic and inflammatory profiles in women?
Pathological weight regain after bariatric surgery is associated with a deterioration in metabolic and inflammatory profiles, though biochemical parameters remain better than preoperative levels.
Santos et al. (2023) studied this question.
