Weight Loss Surgery Does Not Reduce Number Of Fat Cells
Thursday, May 15th, 2008Bariatric surgery, also known as gastric bypass, may reduce the volume of fat in your fat cells, but it doesn’t reduce the number of fat cells in your body.
Even the most drastic reduction in caloric intake won’t change that number.
That’s because the number of fat cells in your body is established during your childhood and teen years. It doesn’t matter whether you’re fat or thin.
