What is Weight Loss Surgery?
Weight loss surgery is a type of bariatric surgery performed to help individuals who are significantly overweight or obese to achieve long-term weight loss. It involves altering the digestive system to reduce the amount of food that can be consumed and absorbed. Weight loss surgery is generally considered for those who have a body mass index (BMI) of 35 or more, with other serious health problems related to obesity, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnoea.
Weight loss surgery is not simply a quick fix or a diet program. It is a major medical procedure with potential risks and complications. Therefore, it is important to carefully assess whether weight loss surgery is the right decision for you. Dr Peter Hamer and his team will ensure you understand the benefits and risks associated with the specific type of weight loss surgery you are considering.
Benefits of Weight Loss Surgery
Weight loss surgery can help you achieve your goals of losing weight and improving your health. It is an effective tool in helping you to achieve long-term weight loss and improved overall health. Here are some of the potential benefits of weight loss surgery:
Weight Loss
The most obvious benefit is that patients will experience significant weight loss over a relatively short period of time. And the support provided by Dr Peter Hamer gives patients the best chance at keeping this weight off long-term, leading to a better quality of life.
Improved Health
Weight loss surgery can improve or eliminate serious health problems associated with obesity, such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease & stroke, hypertension, and sleep apnoea. It can also improve existing health conditions, such as joint pain, high cholesterol, and asthma.
Improved Mental Health
Weight loss surgery can lead to improved mental health, such as increased self-esteem and improved mood. It can also help reduce depression and anxiety.
Increased Energy
Your new, smaller body will take less work to move, and you’re no longer slowed down trying to digest large meals. This can lead to more efficient metabolic processing and increased energy levels, allowing you to be more active and productive.
Pre- and Post-Surgery Lifestyle Changes
Weight loss surgery is not a quick fix. It requires making significant lifestyle changes before and after the procedure. It is important to be prepared to make changes in your diet, exercise, and lifestyle habits in order to get the most out of the surgery.
Here are some tips for making pre- and post-surgery lifestyle changes:
Pre-Surgery
Before undergoing weight loss surgery, it is important to make healthy lifestyle changes, such as eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly. This will help to ensure that the surgery is successful and that you get the most out of the procedure.
Post-Surgery
After the surgery, it is important to continue to make healthy lifestyle changes. This includes eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding unhealthy habits, such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.
Developing a Support System
Having a strong and supportive network of family and friends is an important part of a successful weight loss surgery journey. It is important to have people to turn to for advice and support throughout the process, so stay connected to those close to you as they can provide emotional support, encouragement, and advice.
We also recommend joining a support group or attending counselling to get first-hand advice from others with similar experiences.
Of course, your healthcare team is an important part of your support system. From your GP to our dedicated weight loss team in Gosford and Kanwal, they can provide information about the surgery, answer questions, and provide moral support.
Nutrition and Exercise Tips for Post-Surgery Success
Nutrition and exercise play an important role in achieving post-surgery success. Here are some tips for eating a healthy diet and exercising safely after weight loss surgery:
Eat a Balanced Diet
After surgery, it is important to eat a balanced diet that is high in protein and low in fat and sugar.
Exercise Regularly
Exercise can help to speed up the weight loss process and improve overall health. It is important to choose an exercise that is safe and suitable for your body type.
Get Enough Sleep
Getting enough sleep is important for post-surgery success. Aim for at least 7-8 hours of sleep per night.
