Treatments
Obesity surgeries are surgical procedures performed to assist individuals who are overweight or obese in losing weight. These surgeries help achieve weight loss by reducing the stomach's capacity or altering the digestive system.
Obesity surgeries are typically performed on individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher, or with a BMI of 35 or higher who have obesity-related health issues. However, doctors assess each patient's overall health and other obesity-related factors to determine if they are suitable candidates.
Weight loss after obesity surgeries can be rapid, but individual responses may vary. Significant weight loss can typically be observed in the first few months following surgery. However, lifestyle changes and regular follow-up are essential for long-term success.
Risks of obesity surgeries may include infection, blood clots, bleeding, nutritional deficiencies, and post-operative complications. Risks can vary for each patient, so it's important to discuss them in detail with our surgeon.
Yes, lifestyle changes are crucial after obesity surgeries. These changes may include adopting a healthy diet, engaging in regular exercise, and taking supplements recommended by your doctor. Participating in post-operative support programs and maintaining regular follow-up with your doctor can enhance long-term success.
