Summary

Metabolic surgery has, among all obesity treatments, the best long term efficacy, but weight regain (weight regain, WR) or insufficient weight loss (IWL) are relatively common. These are hard to treat, with dietary treatment often failing, and redo surgery being commonly proposed.The ketogenic diet is vastly utilised to obtain weight loss in obesity, but little data is available regarding its application on post bariatric patients. Ad hoc designed studies are needed to confirm the efficacy and safety of a VLCKD in the treatment of WR and IWL. The aim of this study is to test whether the ketogenic diet is a safe and effective treatment in post bariatric weight regain, compared to its application before bariatric surgery.
