Frequently Asked Questions
 

Gastric surgery refers to procedures like gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy, designed to help individuals with obesity achieve significant weight loss. These surgeries reduce stomach size or alter the digestive process to limit food intake and nutrient absorption. Typically recommended for those who haven’t succeeded with diet and exercise alone, gastric surgery can improve health, reduce obesity-related risks, and enhance quality of life. Minimally invasive techniques are used to ensure faster recovery and fewer complications.

Candidates typically include individuals with a BMI of 40 or higher, or a BMI of 35 or higher with obesity-related health conditions.

Recovery time varies, but most patients can expect to resume normal activities within 2-4 weeks.

Gastric surgery leads to lasting weight loss, but maintaining the results requires long-term lifestyle changes, including diet, exercise, and regular follow-up care.

 

Follow-up care after gastric surgery includes regular check-ups, nutritional counseling, physical activity guidance, and psychological support to ensure proper recovery, avoid complications, and maintain long-term weight loss.
