Obesity, "the state of being grossy fat or overweight", is extremely prevalent in the developed countries of the West, especially among the young. The developing countries are not very far behind;, particularly in the sprawling metro cities. Lack of exercise and bad diet are among the many reasons attributed to its spread.
Sometimes, among the extreme cases, surgical measures have to be adopted. It is in this scenario that Gastric Sleeve Weight Loss Surgery is advised.
What exactly Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
The simplest explanation is: it reduces the physical size of the patient's stomach. Here, surgeons surgically remove part of the stomach and stitch together the remaining portion in a tubular sleeve like a sack, and hence the name "Gastric Sleeve Surgery." It takes two to three days and is permanent.
What can one expect after the surgery?
- After the surgery, you will be able to drink only clear fluid for 2-3 days and, then move on to mashed food products and protein mixes for a month. You will then be able to take normal diet but in very small quantity.
- Expect to lose a lot of weight and medical conditions related to weight will improve. How much that will be will vary from person to person..
- Avoid eating high sugar foods like soda and fruit juice.
- Tiredness may be present for a month and will soon disappear.
