Why? I hadn't heard that at all.

The change in hormones is immediate presumably because most of the
stomach is bypassed and is not stimulated by eating.

The not eating part is caused by the band. *It can as easily be caused
by doing the fat fast. *That should trigger the same metabolic changes.

So you say, without any evidence whatever to support it.
Have you not seen the reports and research going on to
understand the mystifying changes scene in most of
these patients within days of the surgery. *Like the
complete reversal of diabetes?

Or the adverse effects:

The possible complications of bariatric surgery have nothing to
do with the mysterious effect where diabetes is reversed within days
in many patients. Nor with the false comparison of a fat fast to the
diet of post bariatric surgery patients.

I think just about anything is worth a try, before considering
bariatric surgery. Even the fat fast (under a doctor's supervision).


But no one was arguing that point.
