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.

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. Women, in
particular, may need extra iron, calcium, and vitamin D to prevent
deficiencies, especially if they are of childbearing age or experience
heavy menstrual cycles.
* How will bariatric surgery affect my hair and skin?
* Some women experience hair thinning or loss after bariatric surgery,
especially in the first 6 months. This is often due to rapid weight loss
and nutritional changes. Hair usually regrows over time. Additionally, you
may notice loose skin, particularly around the abdomen, arms, and thighs,
due to significant weight loss.
* Can bariatric surgery help with hormonal imbalances or conditions like PCOS?
* Yes, bariatric surgery can improve hormonal imbalances and conditions like
PCOS. Weight loss can help regulate hormones, restore ovulation, and reduce
symptoms such as irregular periods, excess body hair, and acne, commonly
associated with PCOS.
* How will bariatric surgery impact breastfeeding?
* If you plan to breastfeed after bariatric surgery, it’s important to ensure
that you’re getting adequate nutrition and taking necessary supplements.
Bariatric surgery doesn’t prevent breastfeeding, but nutritional
deficiencies can affect milk production and quality. Work closely with your
doctor and a lactation consultant to monitor your health and your baby’s
development.
* Will bariatric surgery affect my mental health?
* Bariatric surgery can bring about emotional changes, as losing weight
rapidly can impact body image, self-esteem, and mental well-being. Some
women may experience mood swings, anxiety, or depression. It’s important to
seek support from a therapist or support group to help manage emotional
changes during this time.
* How can I maintain my bone health after bariatric surgery?
* Women are at higher risk for osteoporosis, especially after bariatric
surgery, due to reduced calcium absorption. Taking calcium and vitamin D
supplements, along with regular weight-bearing exercise, can help protect
bone health.
* Can bariatric surgery impact menopause?
* While bariatric surgery doesn’t directly cause menopause, it can alleviate
symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances by reducing
weight and improving overall health. Weight loss may also lower the risk of
developing postmenopausal complications like cardiovascular disease.stric
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 MEN
* How will bariatric surgery affect my testosterone levels?
* 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.
* Bariatric surgery can significantly improve testosterone levels in men,
especially if obesity was causing low testosterone. Weight loss often leads
to a boost in testosterone production, which can improve energy, libido, and
muscle mass.
* Will bariatric surgery improve conditions like erectile dysfunction?
* Yes, weight loss from bariatric surgery can improve erectile dysfunction
(ED). Obesity is a major risk factor for ED, and shedding excess weight can
improve blood circulation, hormone levels, and overall sexual health.
* How soon can I return to physical activities like lifting weights or
exercising?
* Most men can start light exercise (such as walking) within a few days after
surgery, but heavy lifting or intense physical activity should be avoided for
at least 6-8 weeks to allow for healing. Your doctor will provide specific
guidance based on your recovery.
* Will bariatric surgery affect muscle mass?
* Rapid weight loss can lead to some loss of muscle mass, but maintaining a
high-protein diet and incorporating strength training into your routine can
help preserve muscle. After recovery, building muscle through weightlifting
can help improve overall body composition and strength.
* Can bariatric surgery help with sleep apnea?
* Yes, bariatric surgery often improves or resolves sleep apnea, a condition
commonly associated with obesity. Many men report needing fewer or no
treatments like CPAP machines as they lose weight and their airway function
improves.
* How does bariatric surgery affect cardiovascular health?
* Bariatric surgery can greatly reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering
blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and improving overall cardiovascular
health. Men who lose weight after surgery may experience fewer heart-related
issues and better endurance for physical activities.
* Will I lose my hair after surgery?
* Hair thinning or loss can occur in both men and women, especially during the
first 6-12 months after surgery due to rapid weight loss and nutrient
deficiencies. However, this is usually temporary, and hair regrowth typically
occurs as the body adjusts.
* Can bariatric surgery help with type 2 diabetes?
* Yes, bariatric surgery has been shown to significantly improve or even put
type 2 diabetes into remission. Many men experience better blood sugar
control, and some are able to reduce or eliminate diabetes medications after
surgery.
* How will bariatric surgery impact my daily energy levels?
* Initially, you may experience fatigue due to the body adjusting to lower
calorie intake. However, as you recover and lose weight, most men report
higher energy levels, improved stamina, and increased productivity in their
daily lives.
* Will bariatric surgery help with joint pain and mobility?
* Yes, weight loss from bariatric surgery can greatly reduce strain on joints,
leading to less pain and better mobility. Many men experience relief from
chronic conditions such as arthritis or back pain after surgery, allowing
them to engage in more physical activities.
* How long will it take to see the full results of bariatric surgery?
* Men typically see noticeable weight loss within the first 3-6 months after
surgery. Full results, including significant weight loss and improvements in
health conditions, often take 12-18 months, depending on the procedure and
individual lifestyle changes.
* How will bariatric surgery affect my mental health?
* Weight loss can positively impact mental health by boosting confidence,
self-esteem, and reducing anxiety or depression linked to obesity. However,
rapid changes in appearance and lifestyle may also bring emotional
challenges, so seeking mental health support or joining a support group is
recommended.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.
