Bariatric with Dr Andre Teixeira

“Have you tried planks?” — yes. For three years. 🙃

Severe diastasis is a connective tissue problem, not an effort problem. The muscles are usually fine; the seam between them is what widened. That’s why the rehab helped how you *function* but never closed the *gap*.

You’re not lazy and your body didn’t betray you. You were just given the wrong tool for the job.

Your body isn’t “failing” you… it’s protecting what it learned.
If you’ve ever lost weight and felt it come back no matter how hard you try…
there’s a reason—and it’s not lack of effort.
After years of obesity, the body can adapt to a higher weight as its “normal.”
So when weight starts to drop, internal signals (like hunger and metabolism changes) can push back to restore that weight.
That’s why willpower alone isn’t always enough.
Obesity is a chronic condition, and effective treatment often means addressing the biology behind it—not just the habits.
There are different paths forward, and the right one depends on you.

Tu cuerpo no te está “fallando”… está protegiendo lo que aprendió.
Si alguna vez has bajado de peso y luego lo recuperas, sin importar cuánto te esfuerces…
hay una razón—y no es falta de disciplina.
Después de años viviendo con obesidad, el cuerpo puede adaptarse a un peso más alto como su “normal.”
Entonces, cuando el peso empieza a bajar, señales internas (como el aumento del hambre y cambios en el metabolismo) pueden empujar para recuperarlo.
Por eso la fuerza de voluntad por sí sola no siempre es suficiente.
La obesidad es una condición crónica, y un tratamiento efectivo muchas veces implica abordar la biología detrás del peso—no solo los hábitos.
Existen diferentes caminos, y el adecuado depende de cada persona.

Five years. That’s how long this patient lived with a complication after sleeve surgery before finding help.
When the staple line used to create the sleeve develops a gap, stomach fluid can escape into the abdominal cavity, potentially causing infection and other serious complications.
Five years is far too long to live with a leaking sleeve. We were able to identify the problem, address it, and give this patient something he hadn’t experienced in half a decade: relief.
If you don’t feel well after surgery—even years later—don’t wait to speak up. No matter where or when your procedure was performed, you deserve answers and a clear path forward.

Cinco años es demasiado tiempo para vivir con una fuga en la manga gástrica. Si algo no se siente bien después de tu cirugía, aunque hayan pasado años, busca ayuda. Mereces respuestas.

Cinco anos é tempo demais para conviver com um vazamento na manga gástrica. Se algo não parecer certo após a cirurgia, mesmo anos depois, procure ajuda. Você merece respostas.
