Following sleeve gastrectomy, it is a natural physiological process for the stomach to slightly expand over time. However, a significant increase in stomach volume can lead to weight regain. It is important to note that the stomach does not need to return to its pre-surgery volume for patients to regain their previous weight. Non-adherence to proper dietary guidelines and an undisciplined lifestyle post-sleeve gastrectomy sets the stage for excessive stomach stretching. Key dietary errors promoting stomach enlargement include the consumption of carbonated beverages and ingesting solid and liquid foods simultaneously.
