Benefits of Weight Loss Surgery
Weight loss surgery can provide numerous benefits, including:
- Significant weight loss (typically 60-80% of excess weight)
- Improved blood sugar control in patients with type 2 diabetes
- Reduced risk of heart disease, stroke, and other obesity-related health conditions
- Enhanced mobility and increased energy levels
- Improved self-esteem and quality of life
Types of Weight Loss Surgery
Prolife Hospitals offers various types of weight loss surgery, tailored to individual patient needs:
- Sleeve Gastrectomy: This procedure involves removing a portion of the stomach, resulting in a smaller stomach pouch that limits food intake.
- Gastric Bypass: This surgery creates a small stomach pouch and connects it directly to the small intestine, bypassing a portion of the stomach and small intestine.
- Adjustable Gastric Banding: This procedure involves placing an adjustable band around the upper part of the stomach, creating a small stomach pouch, and restricting food intake.
Eligibility for Weight Loss Surgery
To be eligible for weight loss surgery at Prolife Hospitals, you must meet certain criteria, including:
- Being over 18 years of age
- Having a body mass index (BMI) of 35 or higher, or a BMI of 30 or higher with at least one obesity-related health condition
- Having tried and failed non-surgical weight loss methods
- Being committed to making lifestyle changes, such as healthy eating and exercise
Procedure and Recovery
Weight loss surgery is typically performed laparoscopically, a minimally invasive technique that involves making small incisions in the abdomen. The procedure usually takes 2-3 hours, and most patients stay in the hospital for 2-3 days.
Recovery from weight loss surgery varies depending on the individual and the type of procedure performed. However, most patients experience some discomfort and pain during the first few days, which can be managed with medication. It’s essential to follow your surgeon’s instructions carefully during recovery to ensure a successful outcome.
Lifestyle Changes After Surgery
After weight loss surgery, you will need to make some significant lifestyle changes to maintain your weight loss and improve your overall health. These changes include:
- Adopting a healthy diet, focusing on nutrient-rich foods, and limiting processed foods and sugary drinks
- Engaging in regular physical activity to support weight loss and improve fitness
- Attending follow-up appointments with your surgeon and support team for monitoring and guidance
