Gastric Cut:
The process of cutting or quantifying the stomach is an operation in which a part of the stomach is cut to reduce weight. If the person is overweight, the body mass index is more than 40 and can not lose weight by diet or exercise. Obesity causes many human health problems, such as diabetes and high pressure. This procedure can be performed by laparoscopy to minimize potential surgical complications, and this process can cause loss of 50 to 70 percent of weight
Possible complications after surgery
- The patient stays two days in the hospital, with several tests and radiographs to confirm the success of the process, and must move the patient during this period to prevent the occurrence of blood clots and pneumonia.
- After the operation, the patient needs to eat a special food consisting of liquids in the stage after the procedure. The patient is then advised to eat mashed foods and can not eat a large amount of food because the stomach has become smaller.
- The patient needs to take vitamins and supplements continuously with the drugs taken by the patient.
- Feeling nauseous: Many patients suffer from nausea after the operation; because of the large change in diet and dietary habits, this problem can be solved by a special diet.
- Lack of fluids: The patient must take sufficient amounts of fluids during the period of loss of weight.
- Hair loss: Hair loss can result from the lack of some mineral elements such as zinc, vitamin B 66 and folic acid, so you should take vitamins with the amount of protein.
- Impotence of some types of foods: The patient should chew food well and not eat foods that contain large amounts of sugar, and eat slowly.
