WHAT IS GASTRIC SLEEVE SURGERY?
Gastric sleeve surgery is one of the most popular weight loss surgeries. It is a simple and very safe procedure that helps to reduce the size of the stomach and the amount of food eaten by removing a portion of the stomach about 60% of its original size.
There are several types of gastric sleeve surgery, which are determined by the doctor based on the patient’s condition and the amount of excess fat.
PRE- GASTRIC SLEEVE SURGERY TIPS
Before gastric sleeve surgery, you must follow the advice and instructions given by your doctor to reach the desired outcome, including
Avoid eating for approximately 5 hours before gastric sleeve surgery
Avoid the consumption of stimulants such as caffeine and Arabic coffee, as they make the anesthesia less effective
Avoid blood-thinning medications such as ibuprofen
Doing exercise for a certain amount of time before the surgery
Avoid eating foods that are high in calories and saturated fats
Drink plenty of water before gastric sleeve surgery
To avoid bleeding during the surgery, stop drinking anything that may thin the blood, such as green tea or vitamin combinations that contain vitamin E
POST- GASTRIC SLEEVE SURGERY TIPS
After gastric sleeve surgery, there are several tips that the individual must follow in order to obtain the best results. They can be summarized as follows
Drink plenty of water after gastric sleeve surgery
