Bariatric surgery at this time is a very safe procedure with a mortality of 0.18%, to put it in practical terms the risk of death is the same as in a cesarean section, or in an appendectomy.
After bariatric surgery, a special diet consisting of clear liquids should be followed for 4 days, followed by a blended diet for 2-3 weeks. You must have a healthy diet and be physically active for the rest of your life, otherwise you can gain weight.
Yes, vitamin supplements should be taken after bariatric surgery, especially in malabsorption procedures such as bypass. Due to poor absorption, vitamins are not absorbed and must be replaced by tablets, shakes or injections.
If there are no complications, the patient is discharged the day after surgery. He must be walking at home on the prescribed diet. Usually patients with office work return to their activities from the 5th to the 7th day after surgery.
From 2 to 4 weeks, aerobic activity begins: short walks, then 4-6 weeks resistance exercise is added, flexibility and cardio intensity is increased, always directed by a sports doctor.
Bariatric surgery can reduce perinatal risks in mothers with obesity such as Gestational Diabetes, pregnancy-induced hypertension, macrosomia. It is worth noting that you must wait 12-18 months after surgery to get pregnant. Pregnancy before this time period may be high risk due to intrauterine growth retardation or preterm delivery.
