Weight loss surgery (WLS) is gaining ground as the most effective treatment against obesity. In the literature, however, we see a divide among individuals who have undergone WLS based on the amount of weight lost and maintained: successful and unsuccessful patients. In this article, we focus on the notion of unsuccessful patients-exploring the accounts of three women who have regained weight following WLS. In doing so, we endeavor to better understand how weight regain has meaning, and its impact and implications for the lives of individuals who undergo WLS. The findings reveal how weight-regain stories are easily silenced, buried beneath social, cultural, and institutional/medical narratives of successful weight loss and transformation. People who have such experiences may feel reticent to reveal them and in doing so increase their own suffering, therefore leaving the popular narratives unchallenged.
减肥手术（WLS）作为治疗肥胖症最有效的方法正逐渐普及。然而，在文献中，我们发现接受过减肥手术的人根据体重减轻和维持的程度存在分歧：成功和不成功的患者。在本文中，我们关注不成功患者的概念——探究三位减肥手术后体重反弹的女性的经历。通过这样做，我们努力更好地理解体重反弹如何具有意义，以及它对接受减肥手术的个人生活的影响和含义。研究结果揭示了体重反弹的故事是如何轻易地被压制，被成功减肥和转变的社会、文化以及机构/医学叙事所掩盖。有过此类经历的人可能不愿透露这些经历，这样做反而增加了他们自己的痛苦，因此使得流行的叙事未受到质疑。
