There are certain precautions, life style modifications that need to be done following bariatric surgery. This will not only help you recover faster...
The patients are usually discharged within 24-36 hours of surgery. we perform laparoscopic surgeries with an emphasis on reduced port surgeries making recovery extremely smooth and fast.
The morning after surgery we would expect our patient to walk around relatively comfortably. On discharge from hospital, we recommend increasing activity levels on a daily basis under the constant guidance of our physiotherapists. More active exercise such as at the gym can be introduced one week after surgery, with a gentle reintroduction to aerobic exercise such as light jogging, cycling or swimming. Any exercise involving heavy lifting can be started after one month. Majority of our patients are able to join back their work in weeks’ time.
We take great effort to ensure that even the tiny scars are almost invisible. We place the incisions either in the skin crease or inside the umbilicus so that are almost invisible. We offer single port laparoscopic surgeries in young females so that the scar is completely hidden inside the umbilicus.
The mechanism of Bariatric surgery is not completely confined to food restriction. In fact, there are procedures which hampers the absorption of fats. It means you can eat good amount of food but still the fat won’t be absorbed into your body.

We run a set of tests before surgery. If the results are positive, believe us, diabetes will be completely cured within a few days after bariatric surgery. it is well established fact that shorter the duration of diabetes, better are the chances for a complete cure.
There is no doubt that some centers are over priced and some are offering surgeries at throw away prices. you must remember it’s a life transforming decision and you must ensure there is no compromise on quality and post operative services. The hospital services, surgeon experience and expertise, quality of operation theatres and equipment, back up services and post-operative care some of the factors which can determine the cost of surgery.
Weight loss surgery not only increases your sexual drive but also enhances your sexual performance. Your ability to satisfy your partner is significantly increased due to better performance and increased stamina.
The prospects of getting pregnant are tremendously increased after weight loss surgery. it is attributed to better sexual performance, increased sexual drive or libido, resolution or cure of polycystic ovarian disease and cure of hormonal disturbances. International guidelines suggest that patients who are obese should undergo bariatric surgery rather than IVF. It is because weight loss surgery not only cures infertility but also increases the chance of healthy pregnancy. obesity can be harmful to both mother and baby and is associated with many complications during and after pregnancy.
