Bariatric surgery can significantly improve or even resolve type 2 diabetes in many patients, but it's not a guaranteed cure. The impact of surgery on diabetes depends on several factors, including the severity of diabetes and the patient's overall health.
Yes, dietary changes are crucial to achieve and maintain weight loss after bariatric surgery. Shortly after surgery, you will start with a liquid diet, followed by soft foods, and gradually transition to regular foods. Our nutritionists will provide detailed dietary guidelines and support you throughout this process.
The recovery period varies depending on the type of surgery and the individual patient's health. Typically, patients can return to normal activities within 3-6 weeks post-surgery. Our team provides personalized recovery plans for each patient to ensure a smooth recovery.
As with any major surgery, weight loss surgeries carry risks including infection, bleeding, and complications from anesthesia.
