Surgery is the proven way of sustainable weight loss for the severely obese patient; nevertheless, surgery is not an easy way out of obesity. It requires your full commitment and cooperation with your surgeon and dietician to have a successful outcome. It will be a lifelong commitment to changes with sensible eating habits, regular exercise, and daily vitamin. Please remember, surgery is just a tool to help you lose weight. The ultimate responsibility still lies on you.
Simple rules like consuming less simple-sugar (ice-cream, chocolate, etc) intake and more vegetables and fruits; daily walking or brisk walking for 30 minutes; using stairs instead of the elevator; park your car away from the building entrance; no excessive alcohol intake; stop smoking; will ensure gradual weight loss and delaying weight regain as long as possible.
Again, you yourself and your cooperation with surgeon and dietitian are paramount in achieving the target weight loss. We believe it is possible and within reach.
