Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bariatric surgery involves removing a significant portion of the stomach, which affects the production of hunger hormones like ghrelin. Therefore, hunger and ghrelin levels are likely to decrease immediately after surgery. However, leptin levels are not directly affected by bariatric surgery, and thyroid hormone and basal metabolic rate may be impacted in the long term, but not immediately after surgery.
