If you have been recommended weight loss surgery, the following steps should be followed to ensure you are well prepared for your surgery:

1. Lab tests: Your surgeon might ask you to undergo a series of tests to know your BMI and to check whether your other illnesses are under control.

2. Smoking and Alcohol consumption: You should be a non-smoker or should have quit smoking and alcohol consumption several months or years ago.

3. Pregnancy: You shouldn’t be pregnant or planning to get pregnant for at least a few months after the surgery

4. Diet: Major diet and lifestyle changes will be suggested for a few weeks before the surgery. Your nutritionist will give you a complete diet chart and will also suggest a few exercises to practice before the surgery.

5. Medications: Discuss your medications with your doctor as some medications may need to be stopped days before the procedure.

6. Psychological evaluation: The doctor may also ask you to undergo a round of therapy and psychological evaluation before the surgery.

Guidelines for the day before the surgery : 

• Don’t consume any food or water

• If you have any infection or fever, inform your doctor’s team immediately 

• If you are diabetic, monitor your sugar levels. In case of abnormally high sugar levels, inform your doctor’s office, as your surgery may need to be rescheduled

• Confirm your transportation back home as you would need the help of a caretaker to travel back.

There are various types of bariatric surgery. The type of surgery that you will undergo will be recommended as per your situation. The surgery will last up to several hours.

 The procedure of weight loss surgery varies with the type of surgery, which comes with its benefits and risks. Some of the surgeries are as follows:

1. Gastric Bypass Surgery: It is one of the most common types of weight loss surgery. In this surgery, the surgeon cuts a section of your stomach (which can hold only an ounce of food) and sews it directly with the small intestine. The food that enters bypasses most of the stomach and directly enters the small intestines. This reduces the absorption of nutrients and decreases the amount of food you can eat.

2. Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch: In this surgery, 80% of your stomach is removed and the valve that releases food into the small intestine remains. The beginning of the small intestine (duodenum) is directly connected to its end. This surgery can lead to severe complications and is suggested only to people with a BMI > 50.

3. Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB): In this type, the surgeon places an inflatable band around the stomach. When the band inflates, it acts like a belt and tightens the stomach. This causes the creation of 2 pouches in the stomach with the upper pouch restricting the amount of food you can eat.

4. Sleeve gastrectomy: This is one of the newest forms of weight loss surgery. In sleeve gastrectomy, a certain portion of your stomach is removed and the remaining portion is shaped like a tube. This reduces the absorption of nutrients and limits the amount of food you can eat.

Before selecting any of the above weight-loss surgery, your surgeon will discuss the pros and cons with you. He will also run a variety of tests and take into account your lifestyle, eating habits, medical history, etc and suggest the most suitable one for you.

After your weight loss surgery is done you will be kept in the hospital for a couple of hours until the anesthesia wears off. Your heart rate and general functioning of the body will be measured and there will be a team of nurses to take care of you after the operation.

Once you are back home, certain general guidelines will be suggested by your doctor that need to be followed:

• You won’t be allowed to eat for 1 or 2 days until your system heals

• Major changes will be made to your diet post-surgery. For a few weeks, you will be allowed to eat only liquids which then progresses to soft foods and finally to regular foods

• You will have frequent medical check-ups to ensure the normal functioning of your digestive tract

• You will have to follow a strict exercise regime for several weeks

• You will have to avoid heavy lifting or any form of strenuous exercise for a few weeks

• You will have to avoid smoking or alcohol consumption, as it may lead to severe complications like weight gain

• Avoid binge eating

You may also experience bodily discomfort, pain, fatigue, hair loss, and mood changes. Stay hydrated and take good care of your body to avoid complications.
