As a bariatric surgeon, I always emphasize the importance of diet and exercise after gastric sleeve surgery. However, one crucial factor often gets overlooked โ ๐๐ก๐๐๐ฅ. Quality sleep is just as essential as nutrition and physical activity for weight loss and long-term health after surgery. If youโre not prioritizing rest, you could be hindering your progress in ways you donโt even realize.

This imbalance can slow weight loss and even lead to weight regain over time. Additionally, poor sleep can increase stress levels, leading to emotional eating and stalled progress.
