Before Undergoing Weight Loss Surgery

WHAT IS A WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY?

A Weight loss surgery is the perfect solution for those patients who’ve tried every method to lose weight without any success. A Bariatric Surgery will help you with your eating habits, chronic diseases and, most importantly, achieve a healthy lifestyle.

The most common Weight Loss Procedures at CER Hospital are:

     

      • Gastric Sleeve

      • Gastric Bypass

      • Gastric Lap Band

      • Duodenal Switch

    Weight Loss Surgery can be lifesaving, but you need to be dedicated to making dramatic and permanent changes to how you eat and live.

    CHECK IF YOU MEET QUALIFICATION CRITERIA

    One of the most important things to consider before you undergo Bariatric Surgery is to check if you are a candidate for the surgery. For a person with some underlying diseases, the BMI (Basic Metabolic Index) has to be at least 32.5 and for those with no medical condition, the BMI has to be a minimum of 37.5.

    In some cases, for people who are significantly overweight or have any diseases like diabetes that is not under control, the criterion is lowered or for people who are not obese but have uncontrolled diabetes, qualify for the surgery as the cut off in such cases is 15 kg overweight and not 25 kg overweight.

    IDENTIFY THE RIGHT SURGEON

    Not everyone who is overweight needs to undergo Bariatric Surgery. After you decide that you have to undergo the surgery, it is vital to consult a surgeon who has experience in the field.

    ask us about the types of weight loss surgery

    Although your doctor will explain the pros and cons of the surgery, it is important to ask him properly about the outcomes of the surgery that you are planning to undergo. In most cases, your surgeon will let you know about the different types of surgery. Choose the one who offers a complete range of Bariatric Surgeries and then chooses what fits the bill for you.
