Bariatric Surgeons
in Wisconsin
Gastric bypass or banding operations to reduce morbid obesity are fast
becoming an effective method of assisting patients to reduce weight and
improve weight-related health risks. But, no matter whether you choose
gastric bypass (like roux-en-y or fobi pouch) or adjustable stomach banding
(like lap-band), or any type of gastroplasty, it's important to realise
that no weight loss operation can help you normalize your weight in the
long-term unless you follow the proper post-operative diet and exercise
guidelines. Due to the restrictive nature of the typical diet
plan after bypass surgery, make sure you ask your bariatric clinic
about what post-surgery support groups they have and what other patient
suppport services are available.
Finally, before deciding on any type of weight loss surgery, ask your
doctor for a full explanation of all your options, including non-surgical
weight reduction methods.
