What lifestyle changes will maximize the benefits of my gastric sleeve surgery?
Yes, significant weight loss after surgery often improves or even resolves conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol. Many patients experience reduced symptoms and, in some cases, can reduce or discontinue related medications under medical supervision.
It's advisable to wait at least 18 months post-surgery before becoming pregnant. The weight loss and nutritional absorption changes can affect fetal development. Discuss with your surgeon and obstetrician to ensure you and your baby remain healthy throughout the pregnancy.
Yes, there's a risk of deficiencies in iron, calcium, vitamin B12, and other nutrients due to reduced food intake and absorption. Lifelong supplementation and regular blood tests are recommended to monitor and address any deficiencies.
Follow-up schedules may vary, but generally, you should see your surgeon a few weeks after the operation, followed by regular check-ups every few months during the first year and annually thereafter. These visits allow monitoring of your weight loss, dietary adherence, and general health.
To maximize the benefits, adopt a balanced diet low in calories but rich in nutrients, engage in regular physical activity, avoid high-calorie liquids and snacks, and participate in support groups or counseling to maintain motivation and address any emotional or behavioral challenges.
