Question 2

What does nutritional guidance and diet consist of?

Accepted Answer

Nutritional guidance and diet is an essential element of any bariatric procedure. Every patient who undergoes a bariatric procedure must undergo follow-up with our nutritionist both before the procedure and after the procedure.

The monitoring is divided into two parts:
 • The pre-operative diet
 • The post-operative diet

The preoperative diet usually begins two weeks before the procedure. Its main goal is to help patients reduce any inflammation they have in their liver.

Patients will be contacted by our nutritionist and will then be provided with all appropriate instructions for the diet. The diet begins with soft foods and ends with clear, sugar-free liquids.

The post-operative diet is a long-term commitment.

Start with clear, sugar-free liquids and end with solid foods. This process takes weeks, however, each week patients introduce new foods as their body allows in their recovery process.

Patients will be able to fully enjoy the change and its results by following the diet instructions. Our nutritionist will be accompanying you every step of the way.

Question 3

• Diabetes

Question 4

How many days should I rest at home after my procedure?

Accepted Answer

Among all the postoperative care instructions given to patients, it is of utmost importance to avoid heavy physical activity and carrying objects weighing more than 7 kilograms.
This is directly related to the time spent resting at home.
The rest time varies depending on your work area:
 • Office jobs or jobs where the patient spends most of the day sitting: Rest at home is short-term.
 • Jobs with a lot of physical activity: Rest should be 6 weeks.

It is important to share in detail the activities they carry out at work so that the best rest time can be recommended to the patient.

Question 5

Upon leaving hospitalization, do I need to return for any post-operative consultation?
in person?

Accepted Answer

Once the patient has returned home after the procedure, all follow-up, both medical and nutritional, will be given online. To facilitate monitoring for patients who come from foreign areas, it is easily done online.

It is not necessary for the patient to return for any type of post-operative consultation in person, unless the patient wishes to have an in-person consultation, we will be happy to provide it.

Question 6

I have had a bariatric procedure in the past, but did not get the results
that I wanted. What I can do?

Accepted Answer

For patients who have had a bariatric procedure in the past and are looking to lose more weight, a revisional procedure is recommended.
