A recent prospective cohort study examined the long-term health outcomes associated with weight regain after substantial weight loss following bariatric surgery.
"Partial weight regain after substantial weight loss was associated with a less favorable cardiovascular risk profile and an increased incidence of both microvascular and macrovascular diseases; however, no association with life expectancy was observed," reported Lena M.S. Carlsson from the Institute of Medicine, Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, and colleagues.
