How To Prepare For A Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery

• Sleeve gastrectomy surgery is a minimally
  invasive procedure to reduce the size of the
  stomach and aid in weight loss. Like all
  weight-loss procedures, sleeve gastrectomy
  surgery requires tests and examinations to
  determine the qualification of a candidate for
  surgery.

• Approach a trusted medical team with a
  specialised group of doctors who can assess
  candidacy for the procedure. Before undergoing a
  Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery in Dallas, a patient
  needs to implement specific lifestyle changes and
  preparations to help make the entire procedure a
  success.
• Some of the elements that go into the
  preparation for a sleeve gastrectomy include
• Lifestyle Changes
• Adopting lifestyle changes before a weight loss
  procedure helps prepare for surgery and
  facilitates smooth recovery. Sleeve Gastrectomy
  Surgeons in Dallas will create a preoperative
  program to help prepare for surgery. Some
  lifestyle changes include eating healthy and
  giving up alcohol/smoking. Choose a trusted
  medical centre with experienced dieticians and
  physical therapists to help transition smoothly
  to a healthy lifestyle.

• Discuss Current Medications With The Surgeon
• Inform the medical team about the current list of
  medications that you may be taking such as
  supplements, vitamins, and blood thinners. Some
  medicines may not be suitable for a Sleeve
  Gastrectomy procedure and will have to be stopped
  days or weeks before surgery.
• Get Your Medical Insurance In Order
• Medical insurance may or may not provide for a
  Sleeve Gastrectomy in Dallas, depending on the
  specifications of the procedure and the medical
  history of a candidate. Check your insurance
  coverage before the surgery. Get the required
  paperwork done to ensure a smooth discharge and
  comfortable hospital stay.
• Arrange For Postoperative Help
• Patients can leave the hospital 2-3 nights after
  sleeve gastrectomy surgery in Dallas. Arrange for
  an attendant from the family who can help during
  the hospital stay and drive back home.

• Once home, patients need at-home recovery for 4-6
  weeks before getting back to work. The medical
  team will recommend a gradual transition from a
  liquid diet to pureed/soft foods and regular
  foods during the weeks following surgery. Arrange
  for family members to help keep up with the
  prescribed postoperative diet. A reputable
  medical centre for sleeve gastrectomy surgery in
  Dallas will provide all the necessary information
  on a suitable post-up diet.
• Wrap Up
• After sleeve gastrectomy surgery, patients need
  to attend regular follow-ups with their sleeve
  gastrectomy surgeon. Cultivating an active
  lifestyle with healthy eating habits is essential
  to the success of a weight-loss surgical
  procedure. Approach a leading medical centre for
  bariatric surgery with trusted experts who offer
  preoperative and postoperative support for
  successful surgery and recovery.
