Pre Gastric Bypass Diet Foods
Gastric bypass surgery questions
Tomorrow I'm seeing my doctor and I will discuss the possibility stomach bypass surgery with him. My questions are: * What was the process he went through? * How long did the process from start to date of surgery? * Is there a special diet that you follow before surgery? * What was the post surgery diet? * How much weight is lost / How much time? * The recovery time? * How old were you? Sorry, I know I'm asking for much, just want to know what I'm getting into. I know there are foods that will probably never be able to eat again, and I know that one diet after the surgery, but not the details. I searched Google some of the information, but I prefer to hear the stories of real life. I know I have 19 years of his life long commitment, I would be healthier to be near my newborn son. I tried for years to lose weight and not exercising. I have high blood pressure and knee problems that I think can be solved with the surgery. Thank you!
This is best answered by your surgeon. The process may vary – check with your insurance plan to see if surgery is covered, and if they have any criteria that must be fulfilled first. How awful to see a surgeon and worked and be all ready to go for surgery just to denied because he has not done what they deem necessary to get approval. Many surgeons require that you attend classes before the procedure. My surgeon needs two classes diet and had a folder of information, but then about 4 years ago, a friend who had surgery with my surgeon, had to attend classes during took six weeks and a large three rings of information! pre-and postoperative diet may also vary. Some surgeons have patients try to eat whatever you want after surgery. Others have very strict diet before and after surgery. Weight loss also varies from person to person. Younger people and men, in general, will lose weight faster. Recovery time depends very much on the person. If you have the idea that this is a big operation and you need a long time to recover, then that is what will be needed. If you're like me, and I saw this as a new beginning a new life, get moving as soon as you can, and do not stop! The exercise will become a part of his life. I was walking the next day I came home from hospital. (The exercise also helps you drop weight faster, although it feels as if it is only during the fall of the honeymoon "period of about 6-12 months after surgery.)
