After Obesity Surgery
You've undergone a safe gastric sleeve surgery. You followed the diet plan prescribed by your doctor beforehand, but what about...? After Obesity Surgery ?
Obesity surgery may become necessary in some cases. Individuals who maintain proper dietary controls and exercise sufficiently may experience difficulties in losing weight. In such cases, sleeve gastrectomy is recommended. This surgery, which must be performed by highly skilled and expert surgeons, does not pose a risk if the necessary conditions are met. This method, also used in the treatment of issues such as diabetes and liver diseases, has become widespread throughout the world.
Obesity surgery is the most effective method for individuals who want to improve their lives and are determined to lose weight. Of course, as with any operation, certain rules must be followed before and after the procedure. These are strict rules. Surgery may not be performed on patients who cannot comply with these and similar conditions.
After obesity surgery It is necessary to be as careful as before the operation. This process is carried out in a controlled manner between the patient and the surgeon. Do not rely on information obtained from outside sources. You must follow the advice given by the surgeon.
Diet and Nutrition After Stomach Surgery
One of the most important factors to consider after a successful operation is the diet program. You must strictly follow the diet program given by your specialist. Gastric sleeve surgery will not be performed on patients who do not adhere to the post-operative diet program.
Following surgery, a period of strict fluid and pureed food intake begins. In addition, adequate protein and nutritious meals are necessary.

Discharge from Hospital and Return to Work After Obesity Surgery
If there are no complications after gastric sleeve surgery (this varies depending on the specialist's individual practice policy), the patient can be discharged within 3 to 4 days. Necessary check-ups should be performed on the patient before discharge. If the patient is not feeling well, the specialist may recommend keeping them under observation for a few more days.
Careful rest is required for 4 or 5 days after surgery. If your work involves excessive lifting and heavy labor, you can return to work after your doctor has conducted the necessary checks. The rest period may be extended in cases of heavy workloads. Furthermore, alcohol and drugs should be avoided.
Since the surgery is performed by making 4-5 small incisions in the abdominal area, the recovery process is not very difficult. If you follow the criteria provided by your specialist, losing 40 kilos in 3 months is quite possible.
