Frequently Asked Questions

Weight loss surgery is a surgical procedure performed on individuals who have tried various weight loss methods but have not been successful in achieving their weight loss goals.

Common types of weight loss surgery include sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, adjustable gastric banding, and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch.

Gastric bypass surgery works by creating a stomach pouch and rerouting the small intestine to the pouch. It limits the amount of food consumed and reduces the calories and nutrients absorbed, so they are restrictive and malabsorptive.

Sleeve gastrectomy surgery removes a large part of the stomach, leaving a sleeve-shaped stomach. It reduces the amount of food eaten and causes hormonal changes that reduce appetite.

Adjustable gastric banding surgery involves placing a band around the upper half of the stomach to create a smaller stomach pouch. The band is adjusted to control the quantity of food that can be eaten.

Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch surgery includes removing a part of the stomach and rerouting the small intestine to reduce the quantity of food eaten and the amount of calories and nutrients absorbed.

Risks associated with weight loss surgery include bleeding, infection, blood clots, hernias, bowel obstruction, dumping syndrome, nutritional deficiencies and inflammation in the new stomach.

The amount of weight that can be lost with weight loss surgery varies depending on the type of surgery and individual factors. Generally, patients can expect to lose 50-70% of their excess weight in 2 years of surgery. Half of the target weight loss is lost in the first 6 months, and then later half takes 1-1 ½ years.

Recovery time depends on factors like the type of surgery and individual factors. Patients may return to normal activities within 4-6 weeks. Moreover, we have seen many patients who behave like any other laparoscopic surgery and are alright in a week.

Yes, patients will need to follow a special diet after weight loss surgery. The diet will include a progression from liquid to soft foods to regular foods and will emphasize protein and nutrient-dense foods.

Patients typically begin to see weight loss results within the first few weeks after surgery, with significant weight loss occurring within the first 6-12 months.

Weight loss surgery can help improve or cure obesity-related conditions such as sleep apnea, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. Infertility (PCOD) we have seen getting corrected within a week.

The effects of weight loss surgery can last for many years if the patient follows a healthy lifestyle, exercises regularly and eats a balanced diet. It is an effort to bring back on the right track. Now the patient has to take all the advised care.

In certain cases, weight loss surgery can be reversed, but this is typically only done if there are serious complications or if the patient is experiencing severe side effects.

Yes, weight loss surgery can improve or even cure sleep apnea by reducing the amount of excess weight pressing down on the airway.

Yes, weight loss surgery can relieve joint pain by reducing the amount of weight the joints have to support.

Alcohol should be consumed in moderation after weight loss surgery. It's important to follow your doctor's guidelines on alcohol consumption to ensure proper healing and long-term weight loss success. These are specifically prescribed cocktails after bariatric surgery.

Yes, it's possible to get pregnant after weight loss surgery. However, it's important to wait at least 12-18 months after surgery to ensure proper healing and optimal weight loss.
