All patients are different, and there is a guide preset for the selection of the bariatric procedures. To decide on one or the other surgery should be taken into account different aspects, as they are your age, degree of overweight, your health, and your habits and customs. Not all surgeries are done for all patients.
It is performed laparoscopically (minimally invasive) , We introduce a camera and instrument special in the abdominal cavity through small incisions, which results in little pain and a quick recovery.
If you take routine medications, you should consult with your surgeon, who will tell them when to interrupt or suspend your usage and when you need to reboot.
Recovery takes time and requires your patience. The diet that you are prompted in this process is completely strict. You may experience discomfort and pain while your body heals. The amount of time to return to your normal activities may vary from patient to patient. Some patients are able to return to work within a few weeks and see the weight loss shortly after the surgery.
The majority of our patients are doing your normal life in less than a week, although this evolution varies in each patient and depends on both the type of surgery, as well as of other characteristics of the patient.
If; in fact, patients with diabetes, hypertension or any other disease caused or aggravated by obesity, benefit greatly with a bariatric surgery. Many of these diseases improve significantly after a bariatric procedure, and many patients (even diabetic or hypertensive) arrive at completely stopping the medications to control their disease within a few weeks after your surgery.
After your surgery you will need to make changes in their eating patterns, one of the most commented by bariatric patients is about the concept of wasting food. After surgery, your eyes and mind are still working the same way they did before. However, due to the new stomach pouch, you'll feel satisfied with much less. It is necessary that you pay attention to the satiety signals to your body and not your eyes that still see the food on the plate.
As in any surgery, all patients must take some medicine for the first few days or weeks. In the particular case of bariatric surgery, patients must also take certain vitamin and mineral supplements as part of your feeding program. Only your doctor is the one who should prescribe these medications and supplements, and will determine the duration of such treatments.
By itself, a bariatric surgery is not a contraindiación absolute intake of alcoholic beverages, but we don't recommend it. In the first instance, the body reacts differently to alcohol after surgery, and the effects of the same tend to be very different after the surgery. In addition, alcohol by itself is an important source of calories (one gram of alcohol provides almost twice the calories as a gram of sugar), which can interfere with weight loss.
Exercise is very important for long-term weight loss. You must be willing to start a formal program of exercises as soon as within thirty days after his intervention. The American Heart Association recommends 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise 5 times / week. Normally we recommend you return to the gym a month after his operation. However, please use the moderation and listen to what your body tells you. Start with a low-impact activity, cardiovascular, and then start working with weights and core exercises.
For the fetus, there is no risk, provided that it is controlled by the gynecologist. In the mother, it will stop the weight loss and reganará the pounds that corresponds to him by the pregnancy. When you have the child, it will resume to weight loss, always under the control of the surgical team, and/or center that operated it.
There are many cases in which the woman becomes pregnant in the fourth month of the surgery, because the obese morbid or obese severe, in addition to having polycystic ovaries, presents a dysfunction hormone, which is the cause that the reglan occur without ovulation. (The amount of hormones maintains an indirect relationship with the weight).
When an obese operated lose 15 or 20% of the excess weight, the hormone level rises and causes the rules to be more regular and eggs. Accustomed to sexual intercourse without sufficient precautions, in the 3 or 4 first months after the intervention, makes the occurrence of the pregnancy immediately.
Obesity is characterized by excess fat, not an excess of liquids. Only foods that provide calories can be converted to fat; as water contributes no calories, it can never be transformed into fat and, therefore, water does not produce obesity. Now, if you hold liquids it is obvious that it leads to weight gain, but it can't be considered as obesity.
The excess of liquids have different causes. There are hormonal causes as, for example, during ovulation or menstruation; it can also be due to excessive consumption of salt, or disorders in the heart or in the blood circulation. The walking daily at a fast pace for an hour, decreasing salt intake, and have raised the legs while sitting favors the elimination of liquids. Although it may seem paradoxical, it is advisable to drink at least 2 liters of water a day, as it helps the kidneys to cleanse the body and remove fluid. Diuretic drugs are those that force the body to produce urine and, therefore, lose fluid, but should only be taken with a prescription because they can give complications.
If you take routine medications, you should consult with your surgeon, who will tell them when to interrupt or suspend your usage and when you need to reboot.
