There are a few different types of weight loss surgery. None of them claim to change your metabolism, only stomach capacity (via stomach pruned to the shape of a hotdog) and / or nutrient absorption reduction (via intestinal wiring bypass).

- ggm 4y agoHomeostasis is hard. But there is an upward notch effect: gain is easier than loss. Therefore it can both change, and asymmetrically. A priori, there is no clear "it won't change" about how the body's homeostasis reacts hormonally to stomach size and rate of gastric function. Surgery has no good real life analogue in this case. How do we know what happens?. The evidence is valuable.
