10 Amazing Tips For Surgery Lap

Introduction

Before you decide to undergo Surgery Lap, you must carefully understand the whole procedure, as well as consider some precautions and some post surgery advice. Its called Laparoscopic Gastric Banding, in which stomach is surgically made smaller, so that the amount of food intake is reduced and as a result weight loss is achieved. Well, this sounds a little too gruesome for someone whose only sin is Gluttony, but for some extreme cases this is the only option. The Banding is adjustable, as the percentage of required shrinkage of stomach varies from time to time. There are other alternates to Surgery Lap, such as Gastric Bypass in which a portion of intestine is bypassed so that the amount of food absorbed is less. Following are a few tips to make sure that you get the best results out of this surgery.

Step 1

Pre-Surgery Tips:

• If you have tried every non invasive method available to you and still haven't lost any weight, then you should consult a specialist Doctor and ask whether Surgery Lap is the solution for you.
• If your BMI is less than 40 then you might not need any surgery at all. Focus instead on exercise, diet, and natural weight loss methods.
• Make sure that you know your exact medical condition. If you have any obesity related problem such as diabetes, High BP, etc. See a specialist.

Step 2

Post-Surgery Tips:

•   Do not expect any quick fix. As even after the surgery is performed, you will have to wait 4-6 weeks, before the band is adjusted to make your stomach shrink.
• It is common to feel discomfort after surgery, and it might be painful. To get rid of the pain you can get pain killers, and also regularly move around to make yourself comfortable with this new situation.
• Make it a habit to read nutrition labels and be prepared to follow a strict dietary routine, which may also include supplements for the rest of your life. Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day and avoid caffeine at all costs.
• Don't expect it to be a one time doctor visit. You will have to visit doctor regularly so that the band can be readjusted according to your changing body needs.

Step 3

• Weight loss by Surgery Lap is a slow process, so hang in there and don't do anything stupid. Just follow your doctor's advise.
• Do check out the risks involved during and after the surgery. And make it a habit to do so, before going into any treatment.
• Keep track of your emotions, as it is commonly seen that different people react differently to their new situation.

Tips

Like any other medical procedure, Surgery Lap can turn out to be problematic. But to make sure that you achieve the desired results, follow the above tips, and regularly visit your doctor and nutritionist. It takes about a year before you can see any considerable weight loss. Sometimes the weight continues to decrease even after 3rd year of surgery. For long term effects, do not give up exercising and follow a proper healthy diet even after you stop loosing weight.
