Life Before and After a Gastric Bypass Surgery

The rate of obesity has grown to more than double in the previous few years. You will be shocked after knowing that obesity is a leading cause of preventable death in the U.S. Obesity carries several vital health risks like high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, heart problems, arthritis, etc. Healthy diet and exercise are just not enough for people who are severely obese. They need something else to drop significant amounts of unnecessary weight which will ultimately lead them to a healthier life with less health risks. Then what is that way? The answer lies within a Bariatric surgery.

Bariatric surgery is an effective weight loss procedure which reduces the food intakes of obese patients. There are three basic types of bariatric procedures widely used i.e. gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy and gastric banding. Gastric bypass is the most common from all of them in which doctors reroute the digestive system of obese individuals to suppress their hunger. In this procedure, surgeons reduce the original size of stomach to about the size of an egg then reattach it to a smaller bypassed intestine. With a small stomach, you cannot hold much food which reduces your calorie intake. Your body will absorb less calories and nutrients with a smaller intestine.

Weight loss surgery can help you to lose weight, eliminate severe health problems, improve the quality of your life and live much longer than an obese individual. But the success of a Bariatric surgery completely depends on your ability and determination to follow the strict guidelines for diet, lifestyle change and exercise after the surgery. You may feel tired and irritate due to quick weight lose. You will not be able to eat as much as before. You have to take vitamins and supplements on daily basis to prevent nutrient deficiencies.

Diet guideline after surgery includes balanced meals with limited calories. Usually patients return to work two weeks after surgery. But it depends on your general state of health and physical condition. Sometimes it takes 6-8 week to recover some patients. Regular basic exercise, cardio and aerobic is also needed after the surgery.
