Five Steps to Transform Your Life
Do I Need to Have a Gastric Bypass Surgery?
The surgeon will use staples to create a small pouch, the size of a thumb, in your stomach. The small intestine is then shortened by bypassing a portion of it.
It is reattached to the pouch to allow food to travel through a portion of your digestive tract, making absorption more difficult for your body. Gastric bypass surgery aims to reduce portion sizes by helping patients feel fuller sooner.
Food is sent into the lower intestines, bypassing the upper small intestine and upper stomach.
The weight loss achieved lasts 12 to 18 months. Following gastric bypass surgery, patients often anticipate losing between 75 and 80 per cent of their excess weight—a figure used to indicate weight beyond a BMI of 25.
That usually equates to 30–35% of total body weight over 9–12 months.
After gastric bypass surgery, patients can typically get up and move around three hours later and start drinking liquids immediately. On average, a one- to two-night hospital stay follows surgery.
Following surgery, patients can typically resume work in seven to ten days and resume full exercise in ten to fourteen days. Because they will eat little meals, patients must take vitamins and minerals to prevent deficits.
Getting ready for the gastric bypass Before and after surgery, the Tonic team will contact you with advice on necessary preparations and aftercare. Before surgery, patients are often required to follow a diet that reduces their calorie intake by 800 calories per day for approximately two weeks. Patients will be instructed to follow a particular diet following surgery to facilitate their recovery. This regimen involves a two-week liquid diet, followed by a one- to two-week puréed diet, and then a one- to two-week diet of soft, easily digestible meals.
