There are many types of bariatric surgery, but after the surgery, can you continue to maintain a “slim body”? Clinical records show that you can indeed maintain a certain weight within two years after the bariatric surgery. However, if there is no diet control and exercise, the consequences of “regaining fat” will still occur. According to statistics, 20% of obese patients are still unable to have the ideal body shape after undergoing bariatric surgery. Therefore, the success rate and durability of bariatric surgery are not as good as most people think. If you still hope to use surgery to lose weight, then you’d better see if you pass the following tests.
- Who needs weight loss surgery?
If you are too fat to walk or work normally, you should consult a doctor as soon as possible to evaluate the possibility of surgery. The doctor usually recommends: men who are overweight 45kg or more and women who are overweight 36kg or more to undergo surgery.
- Is weight loss surgery expensive?
This must be decided according to the medical skills and medical ethics of the attending physician, the equipment of the hospital, and the word of mouth of the patients. Since health insurance usually does not cover this type of surgery, patients must pay for it themselves, and it is best to inquire more to compare market prices and prices.
- After undergoing weight loss surgery, how should I eat so that I won’t lose weight?
The attending physician and nutritionist will draw up a diet menu according to your physical condition, and it is best to eat according to the menu designed by experts. At the same time, it is also necessary to use the method of “small, frequent meals, and chewing slowly”.
