In addition to being an effective method for weight loss, sleeve gastrectomy surgery requires patients to undergo a careful preparation process before and after surgery. This process helps patients to adopt a healthier lifestyle both physically and psychologically before and after surgery. Here is what you need to know about the preparation process for sleeve gastrectomy surgery:
Doctor Assessment
Before deciding on sleeve gastrectomy surgery, it is important to have a detailed evaluation by a specialist doctor. This assessment includes factors such as the patient's level of obesity, general health status, benefits and risks of the surgery.
Physical Preparation
Before the operation, it is important to follow a diet programme prescribed by the doctor and to have the necessary tests. In addition, starting the exercise programme recommended by the doctor and trying to balance the body mass index are also part of the preparation process.
Psychological support
It is important to receive psychological support before and after sleeve gastrectomy surgery. In this process, patients should be informed about postoperative expectations, adaptation to lifestyle changes and possible difficulties.
Dietary Changes
Before the operation, patients should comply with the diet programme recommended by the doctor. In this process, it is important to gain healthy eating habits for weight loss and to review eating habits.
Postoperative Planning
It is important for patients to attend regular follow-up and control appointments after sleeve gastrectomy surgery. In addition, strict adherence to the diet and lifestyle changes recommended by the doctor in the postoperative period is critical to maintain the success and long-term effects of the surgery.
The preparation process for sleeve gastrectomy surgery has a significant impact on patients' adoption of healthy living habits before and after surgery and their adaptation to these changes.
