What are the benefits of the Surgery?

The following are some of the advantages of the surgery: If you strictly follow the recommendations, the operation boosts the average rate of weight reduction compared to other restrictive treatments.
According to studies, an individual’s weight loss percentage a year after surgery is 77 percent.
Patients retain 50 to 60 percent of their extra weight reduction 10 to 15 years following the treatment, according to studies.
Back pain, high blood pressure, and depression were all reduced in 96 percent of individuals who received the surgery, according to studies.

How is the procedure Carried out ?

Like any other laparoscopic procedure, 5 to 6 small incisions are made, a Laparoscope (a narrow tube with a camera at the end) is inserted through those incisions, and once the surgeon has clear visuals from the Laparoscope, surgical instruments are inserted through other incisions, and the top portion of the stomach pouch is stapled, and the section of smaller stomach pouch is connected to the small intestine, facilitating the process of malnutrition. Anesthesia is used during the process.

How long does it take to Recover?

When compared to an open treatment, recuperation time for laparoscopic surgery is quite short.
It will take approximately 2 weeks to return to normal activities after spending 2 to 3 days in the hospital.
During the first few weeks after recuperation, the doctor may request that the patient have blood work and different tests performed in order to check their health.
In terms of eating, the patient must first adhere to a particular diet, which includes a transition from liquid to pureed foods. After that, the patient can begin eating softer foods and gradually develop their tolerance to typical foods.
Doctors will prescribe multivitamin and multimineral tablets to help with healing by filling up the nutrient gaps. Iron, calcium, and vitamin B12 are among the vitamins and minerals given.
