Pre-Operative Process
Patients are carefully examined before weight loss surgery to make sure they are suitable candidates. The pre-operative process involves a physical examination, blood tests, and psychiatric evaluation. This examination is essential to identify any physical or mental issues that could influence the operation’s result.
The pre-operative process also includes learning about different types of weight loss surgeries and the risks and benefits of each surgery. Before making a final decision, you should ask your questions. Your surgeon will also explain the possible side effects.
In addition, you are should follow a diet before the operation to prepare your body for surgery. Your diet needs to be low in calories and high in protein to help reduce the amount of fat in the liver and reduce the risk of complications during surgery.
Post-Operative Process
In post-operative process, you will need to make some lifestyle changes to maintain weight loss and avoid complications. Immediately after surgery, you will start a liquid diet and gradually transition to soft foods and then solid foods over several weeks. This diet allows the stomach to heal and adapt to its new size.
Also, you must attend follow-up checkups with your doctor to track your progress. Blood tests, physical examinations, and diet recommendations are all part of these appointments.
You will also need to modify your eating and workout routines. A diet that is high in protein and low in fat, sugar, and processed foods will be healthier for you to follow. You will be recommended to exercise frequently as well in order to help maintain weight loss and improve your general health.
