You can read more to hear about how Brittony Stromberg Changed her life READ ABOUT ON OF OUR SUCCESS STORIES ON KSL UTAH Read Brittony’s Story on KSL FAQ GASTRIC BYPASS * What is gastric bypass surgery? * Gastric bypass surgery is a weight loss procedure that changes the way your stomach and small intestine handle food. It makes your stomach smaller and allows food to bypass part of your small intestine, so you absorb fewer calories. * How is gastric bypass surgery performed? * The surgery is also done laparoscopically. The surgeon makes a small pouch at the top of your stomach, which is the new, smaller stomach. Then, they connect this pouch directly to the middle part of your small intestine, “bypassing” the rest of your stomach and the first part of your small intestine. * How does gastric bypass help with weight loss? * Gastric bypass reduces the amount of food your smaller stomach can hold, so you eat less and feel full sooner. Because food skips part of your small intestine, your body also absorbs fewer calories and nutrients, which helps with weight loss. * Is gastric bypass permanent? * Yes, gastric bypass is a permanent surgery. Once the stomach and small intestine are rerouted, they cannot be restored to their original state. This makes it important to stick to lifelong dietary changes and vitamin supplements. * How long does gastric bypass surgery take? * The surgery takes around 2-4 hours, and most patients stay in the hospital for 2-3 days to ensure there are no complications before they go home. * What is recovery like after gastric bypass surgery? * Recovery involves following a specific diet that starts with liquids and moves to soft and solid foods over several weeks. You will need to take vitamins and supplements for life to avoid deficiencies, as your body absorbs fewer nutrients. * How much weight can I lose with gastric bypass surgery? * Most people lose about 60-80% of their excess weight in the first 18-24 months after surgery. The amount of weight lost depends on how closely you follow your post-surgery diet and exercise routine.

She is so kind. I would definitely recommend her to anyone. Also huge shout out to the hospital staff that helped me. You guys are amazing! Thank you for everything!” FAQ GASTRIC SLEEVE * What is gastric sleeve surgery? * Gastric sleeve surgery is a weight loss procedure where the surgeon removes a large portion of your stomach, leaving a small, sleeve-shaped stomach about the size of a banana. This reduces the amount of food you can eat, helping you lose weight. * How is gastric sleeve surgery performed? * The surgery is done laparoscopically, which means the surgeon makes a few small cuts in your abdomen instead of one large one. Using tiny tools and a camera, the surgeon removes about 75-80% of your stomach, leaving a narrow tube or “sleeve” behind. * How does a smaller stomach help with weight loss? * A smaller stomach means you’ll feel full faster and can only eat small amounts of food at a time. The surgery also affects the hormones that control hunger, so you’ll likely feel less hungry overall. * Is gastric sleeve surgery permanent? * Yes, the surgery is permanent because a portion of the stomach is removed. It cannot be reversed, so it’s important to commit to lifestyle changes after surgery to maintain weight loss. * How long does the surgery take? * Gastric sleeve surgery typically takes about 1-2 hours, and most patients stay in the hospital for 1-2 days afterward for monitoring and recovery. * What can I expect during recovery? * After surgery, you’ll start with a liquid diet and gradually move to soft foods and then solid foods over several weeks. You’ll also need to take vitamins and supplements to make sure you get enough nutrients, as you’ll be eating much less. * How much weight can I lose with gastric sleeve surgery? * Most people lose about 50-70% of their excess weight in the first 12-18 months after surgery, depending on how well they stick to their diet and exercise plan.

BARIATRIC SURGERY FAQ FOR WOMEN * How will bariatric surgery affect my menstrual cycle? * Gastric sleeve surgery is a weight loss procedure where the surgeon removes a large portion of your stomach, leaving a small, sleeve-shaped stomach about the size of a banana. This reduces the amount of food you can eat, helping you lose weight. * Many women experience changes in their menstrual cycle after bariatric surgery. Initially, rapid weight loss can cause irregular periods or even temporary amenorrhea (absence of periods). However, over time, weight loss often helps regulate menstrual cycles, especially in women with conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). * Can I get pregnant after bariatric surgery? * Yes, you can get pregnant after bariatric surgery, but it is recommended to wait at least 12-18 months post-surgery before trying to conceive. This allows your body to stabilize and ensures you’re getting proper nutrition for a healthy pregnancy. Consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice. * How does bariatric surgery affect birth control and fertility? * Weight loss from bariatric surgery can increase fertility, even in women who previously had difficulty conceiving due to obesity. However, it’s essential to use effective contraception in the first 18 months post-surgery, as rapid weight loss can make pregnancy riskier during this period. * Will I need to take specific vitamins or supplements after surgery? * Yes, after bariatric surgery, it’s crucial to take vitamins and supplements for life, as your body may not absorb nutrients as efficiently.
