Weight loss varies per individual and the type of surgery. On average, most patients lose about 15 to 30% of their initial weight. However, maintaining this weight loss requires ongoing lifestyle changes.
Post-surgery, you'll need to eat smaller, nutrient-rich meals. Overeating can lead to problems, as your stomach size will be significantly reduced. You'll also need to take vitamins and minerals to prevent deficiencies.
Post-operative care includes a specific diet to help your body recover and adapt to a smaller stomach size. Regular check-ups to monitor your health and weight loss will be necessary. Additionally, you'll be encouraged to participate in support groups and counseling to help adjust to these life changes.
To prepare, patients should follow a specific diet as recommended by their medical team, exercise regularly, and stop smoking. Psychological evaluations may also be necessary to ensure you're mentally prepared for the lifestyle changes post-surgery.
