Bone loss persists 2 years after weight loss surgery

(The Endocrine Society) A new study shows that for at least two years after bariatric surgery, patients continue to lose bone, even after their weight stabilizes. The results -- in patients undergoing gastric bypass, the most common type of weight loss surgery -- were presented Monday at the joint meeting of the International Society of Endocrinology and the Endocrine Society: ICE/ENDO 2014 in Chicago.
