There are all chances that you are anxious to get
ahead with the surgery now that you've made the
decision you need to take the time to find the
right bariatric surgeon with the best bariatric
surgery in India program. The decision to have
weight loss surgery is a lifelong commitment to
living a healthy life and there is no doubt that
it is not an easy process. You will need a strong
support system and that begins with a weight loss
surgeon who has a good bariatric program.

A good bariatric surgery in India program will
educate you on the surgery options that are best
for you. There are several different types of
surgical procedures, but only two basic methods,
restrictive and mal-absorptive. Restrictive
procedures restrict food intake to reduce
calories consumed while the mal-absorptive
procedures alter digestion to reduce absorption
of calories through the intestine. Some of the
restrictive methods include vertical Banded
Gastroplasty, adjustable gastric banding and
gastric sleeve. The mal-absorptive methods of
surgery include bilio-pancreatic Diversion,
bilio-pancreatic diversion with duodenal switch
and roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

A good bariatric surgery team should discuss the
various options you have to help you consider the
pros and cons of gastric bypass surgery, as well
as the advantages and disadvantages of gastric
bands and the gastric sleeve surgery. While you
may want to get input from friends, family
members and other patients as well, the final
decision is ultimately yours. The best bariatric
surgery for you is not the procedure that works
best for someone else, but the one that you and
your bariatric surgeon determine is most
appropriate for your personal situation.

A good bariatric surgery in India program is also
one that provides access to a post-surgery
support system for exercise, nutrition, and
psychological support. What most people dont
realize is the fact that bariatric surgery
requires permanent changes in diet, both in food
choices and how much food is eaten. The food
consumed should be low in calories and high in
nutrition, focusing on low-fat proteins and sides
of healthy fruits and vegetables. Since food
portions are small, the food must provide
adequate nutrients to the body for good health.
Nutritional supplements will be necessary,
especially for mal-absorptive bariatric surgery
procedures.

You will need to include exercise into your daily
routines. Besides the many health benefits
exercise provides, it helps to maximize weight
loss, as well as preserve and protect muscle
tissue during rapid weight loss. Support after
bariatric surgery in India is an integral part of
keeping on track with diet and lifestyle changes
to achieve and maintain weight loss. A good
program should provide nutritional counseling,
exercise instruction, and psychological
counseling. A really good program connects
patients with weight loss surgery support groups
and on-line forums to interact with other
bariatric patients who can relate to your issues
and challenges. Eligible patients are ideally
those who have attempted and failed at previous
weight loss efforts and passed a psychiatric
evaluation to be recommended for Bariatric
Treatment in India.
