How does weight-loss surgery work?

There are numerous weight loss surgery procedures patients can undergo including, duodenal switch with gastric sleeve, gastric sleeve and gastric bypass. Our facility even offers LAP-BAND correction surgery. These various surgery methods make the stomach smaller so patients eat less food. By eating less they are able to lose weight more effectively and prevent excess weight from occurring.

With any surgery, there are risks. Yet, bariatric surgery is now a minimally invasive surgery which makes it safer for patients. Complications can occur during and after surgery, which is why it’s important to have the best-trained professionals helping you with your weight loss journey.

How much weight will I lose after weight-loss surgery?

On average, bariatric patients can lose up to 80 percent of excess body weight. Individual weight loss results vary greatly and heavily depend on after-surgery care. At Wellstar, we want all patients to reach their ideal potential which is why we offer services outside of weight loss care to encompass all aspects of a healthy individual.

What can I eat after surgery?

After weight loss surgery, there are strict rules on what patients can and cannot eat. The biggest problem bariatric patients face is staying away from their former comfort foods and indulgences. Our nutritional experts will educate you on what constitutes healthy food and the correct portion sizes to put onto your plate.

What lifestyle changes are needed to accommodate weight loss surgery?

Patients who do not lose weight after bariatric surgery typically fail to implement healthier lifestyle choices into their lives. Healthier lifestyle choices would include eating smaller meals and of the right foods, sticking to an exercise routine and being more mindful of what they are consuming. At Wellstar, we have medical professionals in all aspects of healthy living including fitness, nutrition and even sleep that can help you find the right healthy combination to become your healthiest self.

Does weight loss surgery eliminate the need for exercise?

The short answer: no. Exercise is still a relevant and essential part of a healthy lifestyle. After weight loss surgery, exercise helps patients boost their metabolism to lose more weight overall. Our fitness coaches and professionals can help you develop an exercise routine that is relevant to your goals and will help you feel better every day.
