Adolescent Weight Loss Surgery in Mexico? Benefits & Risks (hwbazaar.com)

[scientia-rex]

Hallo!! I really appreciate your blog and how open and invested you are in wellbeing outside of medical fatphobia and other ways medicine as an institution can suck. It's also great to see a humanized side of working in medicine, so thank you for your openness :) You mentioned recently not prescribing bariatric surgery to patients except in rare, specific cases. If you have time and energy, would you be able to share a little more about what you think about bariatric surgery when those particular conditions aren't present? Also please feel free to ignore this ask if you're not up for it. Hope you have a great day! 🌸🌼🌺

When someone is fat to the point where they can't do daily activities of living like dressing themselves, walking, etc., then bariatric surgery probably has a place.

However, bariatric surgery has risks. Lots of them. To start with, there's the on-the-table risks. These are a lot lower than they used to be--anesthesia in this day and age is incredibly safe. Getting to bariatric surgery is challenging for most patients, as insurance in the US will typically only work with a few centers that have wrap-around teams including the surgeons but also other specialists, especially nutritionists. So lots of patients go to Mexico. I haven't had a single one of my own patients, since I started having my own patients four years ago, get from the phase of thinking about bariatic surgery to actually having it done in the US. I've had three patients go to Mexico and have it done. I will withhold judgment, because I haven't been to those centers, I don't know what those doctors and teams are like, but I do know the overall out of pocket cost for patients is about 5 grand, which is so much cheaper than it is in the US that it doesn't bear comparison.

Just-after-surgery risks include blood clots that can go to the lungs or the heart. There is always a risk of wound infection, which can be devastating. If a prolonged hospital stay is required, pneumonia is a significant risk.

Any time you have intra-abdominal surgery, your body develops scar tissue. Places where scar tissue fuses different structures together are called adhesions. Having a re-operation after that is more risky because of those adhesions. You are also at higher risk for intestinal obstruction, because your intestines can hang up on adhesion and twist so that they cut off their own blood supply. This is a surgical emergency. When bowel dies, it becomes leaky and lets dangerous intestinal bacteria into the otherwise sterile environment of the abdomen. That higher risk of intestinal obstruction never goes away.

People who have had bariatric surgery are also at risk for dumping syndrome. This is a condition where the small intestine becomes overly stimulated immediately after a meal, because the food is not moving smoothly through the stomach into the small intestine on the natural time scale. That stimulation leads to excessive insulin release in comparison to the amount of glucose absorbed, which can means hypoglycemia, which is life-threatening.

Rapid fat loss leads to significant amounts of excess skin. Many people who've had bariatric surgery go on to have skin removal surgery. This is actually a riskier surgery than the bariatric surgery itself, because you are tampering with the barrier between the inside of your body and the world outside it. And if it's done too early, you can end up needing your skin to stretch again, and having stretch marks in addition to the scars.

After bariatric surgery, you are also worse at absorbing good nutrients. You need lifetime monitoring for vitamin levels, including vitamin B12. If you don't have enough vitamin B12, your nerves start to die. This results in pain that starts in the feet, since the neurons running from the spinal cord to the big toes are the longest and therefore most susceptible in the body.

But perhaps the most upsetting aspect of bariatic surgery to me is that it is presented as a definitive solution.

Is it?

Not for 20-25% of people who have bariatic surgery, who struggle with significant weight regain.

So if the most extreme intervention we have--literally surgically altering your gut--isn't enough to make weight loss permanent, how is anything else going to do it?

You can be skinny. For a little while. But attempts to lose large amounts of weight, including surgically, have high failure rates. The 75% success rate for bariatic surgery is significantly higher than for any other method currently widely available, but the risks are also significantly higher. I don't think it's worthwhile for most patients, especially given how many patients are lied to by their doctors about how much their weight is likely contributing to their health problems. Most of my patients focus on their weight rather than activity levels, they beat themselves up about how they're not doing intense enough exercise but don't incorporate lower-impact exercises like swimming or walking, they try to eat less rather than eating a diet more rich in vegetables and fruits and lower in highly processed foods. You can do so much for yourself without ever framing it as being about weight.

And if you've done that--if you're struggling with being so fat that you can't live your life--then sure. Talk to your doctor about a referral for bariatric surgery. But don't be shocked if the results are not what you were told to expect. Don't be surprised when you find that you actively resent the people who suddenly find you tolerable, even desirable, now that you're not so fat. Don't let them sell you bariatic surgery as a no-downside cure-all, because it most emphatically is not.

It's Gastroparesis Awareness Month

Hi! I have gastroparesis and I'm an insufferable know-it-all so let's talk about it!

Gastroparesis, or a paralyzed stomach, is a condition that causes delayed gastric emptying.

This can cause a range of symptoms and complications:

nausea

vomiting

early satiety/fullness

upper gastric pain

heartburn

malabsorption

dehydration

malnutrition

Gastroparesis can be treated by a gastroenterologist, but often needs to be managed by a motility specialist due to a lot of misconceptions about the condition. Providers, especially in the emergency department, will commonly misdiagnose gastroparesis as cannabis-hyperemesis syndome, cyclic vomiting syndrome, gastritis, food poisoning, etc.

There are several commonly known causes of gastroparesis like vagus nerve damage from diabetes, injury to the stomach, and stomach surgery like hernia repair or bariatric surgery. There are also idiopathic cases with no known cause. Other causes of gastroparesis are:

Connective tissue disorders like HSD and EDS (commonly hEDS and cEDS)

Post-viral (like COVID, viral gastritis, mononucleosis/Epstein-Barr)

Restrictive eating disorders

Autoimmune diseases like Systemic sclerosis (scleroderma), Lupus, Hashimoto's

Central nervous system disorders

Gastroparesis also has common comorbidities with conditions like:

POTS and other forms of dysautonomia (POTS, EDS, and gastroparesis are a common triad of diagnoses)

MCAS

SMAS (which can also present with similar symptoms to GP)

Intestinal dysmotility and esophageal dysmotility disorders (known as global dysmotility)

PCOS with insulin resistance

Endometriosis

SIBO/SIFO

Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction

Migraines

Certain medications like Ozempic and other drugs in that class act on the digestive system to delay gastric emptying, which has caused people to be diagnosed with gastroparesis. Some people report that their cases have not gone away since stopping the medication, others report feeling better after stopping. Other drugs like opiates and narcotics can cause delayed gastric and intestinal motility as well, but these are commonly known side effects of those painkiller classes.

Gastroparesis is classed based on severity and graded based on how you respond to treatment.

Severity of delay ranges from mild to very severe, and this is based on your actual stomach retention calculated at 4 hours into a gastric emptying study.

The grading scale ranges from one to three, one being mild and three being gastric failure.

There is no consistent single treatment that is proven to work for gastroparesis, and there is no cure. Treatments can consist of:

Diet changes (3 Step Gastroparesis Diet, liquid diet, oral sole source nutrition)

Prokinetic (motility stimulating) drugs

Anti-nausea medications

Proton-pump inhibitors

Gastric stimulator/gastric pacemaker

Pyloric botox and dilation

G-POEM/pyloroplasty

Post-pyloric tube feeding

Gastric venting/draining

Parenteral nutrition

IV fluids

Other surgical interventions like gastrectomy or rarely, transplant

Gastroparesis is a terrible disease and I hope that if any of these symptoms resonate with you that you can get checked out. I was misdiagnosed for a long time before getting a proper gastroparesis diagnosis, and all it took was a gastric emptying study. This is ESPECIALLY true if you're having post-COVID gastrointestinal problems that are not improving. I almost died from starvation ketoacidosis because of how serious my GP got in a short period of time post-COVID (I had GP before COVID), and now I'm tube reliant for all my nutrition and hydration.

Stay safe friends!

Author's note: This is a dark medical fetish fiction about a birth that gives the mom a massive, fatal heart attack. Baby is fine but mom's not gonna make it even though the medical team does a lot to try to save her. TW for: fatphobia, graphic birth, and unsuccessful resus. There are some mentions of bodily fluids too.

"She really didn't know she was pregnant? I've worked in medicine 20 years and still don't understand how that happens."

Judy's fellow nurse, Karen, laughed her agreement. "Well yeah, but you'll understand when you see her. She's huge. And get this: she's been having contractions for 4 days. She thought she needed to go to the bathroom."

Kayley was 24 and teetering just over 450lbs the last time she bothered to check. She also didn't bother to take her insulin or, apparently, her birth control.

She was sweaty and short of breath when the paramedics rolled her in, screaming about the pain and pressure in her belly.

"I'm not pregnant, I just need to take a shit," she complained, even as she clutched the underside of her bulbous stomach. It was a massive 70 inches of pale, roiling flab jiggling as the bariatric stretcher wheeled her into the room. She clutched at the girth near her utuerus when another contraction hit. "Oh fuck, it HURTS! I need a toilet, I'm gonna shit myself!"

"Kayley, you need to listen to me," Dr Andrews said as he swept in to take over the case. "You are pregnant and delivering. But with your weight and health history it's not safe to deliver vaginally. Your heart has been under a lot of stress because you've been in labor for a long time. I have never seen a blood pressure so high on someone who is concious. Hang tight, we're going to check you here and then get you into surgery."

Kayley cried as they cut her size 6X panties off. It took two people on each side to lift her massive tree trunk legs into the stirrups. 3 nurses set about starting the IV ports she would need during and after surgery.

Suddenly, before the doctor could even locate her opening, she let out a roar of pain. "I feel the head! I'm pushing!" She put her chins to her chest and bore down before any of the medical staff could stop her.

Things moved quickly after that. A crash cart was brought in and Dr. Andrews got the forceps off the tray. However, despite her size, Kayley was a good pusher and the head was quickly sitting just inside her entrance.

"It stings! There's so much pressure. Am I crowning? OH GOD I think I'm crowning, it's ripping me!"

Judy was up at her head, wiping her brow and whispering encouragement. Kayley laid her head back, struggling for breath. Her face had turned gray in the last few seconds. Suddenly a look of absolute agony crossed her face. Her eyes went wide with horrified recognition. She knew that pain -- she'd already had 2 heart attacks. But this was, by far, the worst pain she had ever felt.

"I'm having a heart attack. It's a bad one," she managed to gasp out. Tears ran down her face as she pawed uselessly at the pain in her chest. Her eyes were wide with shock and terror as if she'd realized these were her last moments and she was spending them in unimaginable agony. She sucked in one last gasping, moaning breath before her head fell back. Her eyes stayed open, staring sightlessly at the ceiling.

A quick thinking nurse went to aid the baby dangling between Kayley's legs as she was laid back and the work began to save her life. The first couple of hard chest compressions snapped two of Kayley's ribs but also helped pop the baby out of her in a rush of amniotic fluid, which splashed on to the floors and the fat rolls on her legs. That was soon joined by other waste as Kayley's bladder and bowels voided.

The team made a valiant effort to save the new mom's life, running full code for over forty minutes. Her huge body jiggled on the gurney as she was shocked, medicated, and pummeled in the chest. Her massive, saggy breasts were splayed to each side, their long nipples caught between her ribcage and her fat rolls. Milk squirted on to her mottled skin with every desperate punch to her sternum.

When they finally called it, Kayley was a mess. Her chest was bruised and burned and she still had a trach tube protruding from her open mouth. Judy noticed that Kayley's already ginormous stomach had swollen even larger.

"What's up with her belly?"

Karen put down the drapes she was putting away and walked over to Kayley's bloated body. She reared her right fist back and punched dead center of the blubber above the dead woman's pubis with all of her body weight. The placenta shot out from between Kayley's legs with a nasty squelching sound and settled between her massive thighs, coating her rolls with thick blood. Either the force of the punch or the brutal expulsion of the placenta caused Kayley's body to push air through her throat, which wiggled the tube and forced a groaning sound from her mouth.

Judy and Karen left the room, chatting about the marvels of the human body. No one had bothered to close Kayley's eyes. Her puffy face was forever frozen in a rictus of horror from the half a second her dying brain realized she was going to die in agony with a baby she didn't even know she was having hanging out of her twat.

Medical talk after seeing the surgeon yesterday

Genuinely love how they'll enthusiastically recommend bariatric surgery to me because I'm just too faaaaaat for major surgery as if:

a) bariatric surgery isn't one of the MOST invasive, destructive forms of surgery that has the highest rates of failure, need for corrective therapy and surgery, and patient regret as well as incredibly high rates of short and long-term complications

b) bariatric surgery is still... major surgery. You want me to have a higher risk form of surgery to make sure i'm safe for a lower risk form of surgery?

c) because I'm just moderately miserable with nausea and pain and fevers and not actively dying, it's fine to leave in because they don't want to rush into anything. As if my quality of life means jack shit

Anyway I had really bad fever all night and I'm nauseous and weepy today but too bad I'm fat so I just have to feel sorry for myself until I magically lose weight

[bil-daddy]

Hi Bildad. I know this isn't at all what your Tumblr is for, but I don't have anyone IRL to talk to about this, and my husband reads AITA. If you want to just leave this in your inbox unanswered, that is ok.

Today during an argument, my husband told me that he has not been attracted to me since we got married (20 years ago!) Around that time I started on antidepressants and they caused me to gain some weight and then I gained some more weight. Currently I am 5'6" and 190lbs.

He has hinted at this a couple times over the course of our marriage and frequently turns me down for sex (one time we went a whole year without any sexual activity). He said that he has never been completely honest about this before because it would hurt my "fragile ego" and send me into an "emotional spiral".

When we were first married, he was in good shape, but about ten years ago, he started putting on weight, too. He is currently 6'0" and 260lbs. He says that he knows that it's not fair, but he's just being honest about how he feels.

Currently I'm considering getting bariatric surgery, vs trying to do my best to diet and exercise while working full time and raising three kids with him, vs calling it quits and trying to find someone who likes my body the way it is. I have a fairly high sex drive and I'm feeling very frustrated.

Again, sorry for venting here. Not something I'd be willing to admit to family or friends but just needed to get it off my chest and this seems like a safe space.

Hi, anon. Sorry you're going through this.

Now, to paraphrase AITA (and r/relationship_advice, and r/relationships) You don't have a weight problem. You have a husband problem.

It shouldn't take a midwife to know that bodies change after giving birth and it seems you've done that three times. And that's not even getting into the normal weight gain that comes with aging. Nobody looks the same as they looked 20 years ago (well, unless you're an immortal being--which I am definitely not by the way, 100% totally human shoemaker obstetrician right here)

Your husband knows this. He's aged and gained weight, too. And not to get all Freudian, but I'm betting his criticisms of you are actually projection of how he feels about himself. (Especially the "fragile ego" and "emotional spiral" part. Such classic projection it might as well be an old silent film.)

He probably didn't mean what he said about not being attracted to you for your entire twenty-year marriage, if you two were arguing when he said it. It was just something he knew he could say to hurt you in the moment.

That's not an excuse, by the way. Every relationship is gonna have fights (don't ask me how I know), but you shouldn't be fighting dirty against the person you love. Fuck nasty, sure. But not fight dirty.

Speaking of which, sex drives often wax and wane over the course of lifetimes, and relationships, and a group of two's respective shifts don't always line up. Still, if there's an ongoing mismatch then the couple should do their best to figure out a compromise that works for both of them.

Is your husband doing this?

Is he doing half the childcare so you have the free time to exercise?And relax, too, because you won't have the energy to exercise if you're too tired from work and childcare.

Is he doing half the grocery shopping, meal planning, and cooking so your whole family can eat a healthy diet?

Is he trying to get back into shape and lose weight himself?

And finally, the hard (pun intended) one--is he cutting back on "pornography!" (to quote Sandalphon) so he can direct the majority of his sexual energy towards you? Has he checked with a doctor about his testosterone levels? Blood flow?

You don't have to tell me, but the answers to these questions might tell you whether your husband is putting enough effort into your marriage to make it worth saving, versus calling it quits and finding someone who will appreciate your body the way it is--and there are many people who will (just ask @mrazfellco about my obsession with his belly and thick thighs)

But the most important person who needs to appreciate your body the way it is isn't your husband or a hypothetical post-divorce boyfriend. The most important person who needs to appreciate your body is you.

And so you need to do whatever it is that will make you feel good about yourself. That might be diet and exercise. That might be bariatric surgery. That might just be losing 260 pounds of husband.

But whatever it is, it needs to be for you.

Hope this helps.

Good luck to you, and have an ox rib (platonic)

I’ve spent over a decade learning the science we know (and don’t) about weight loss. I’ve also spent so much time in treatment for my disordered eating, therapy for CPTSD, and learning to see and unlearn internalized fatphobia. I’ve spent time in community with other fat people learning how to take care of a very fat body and how to find joy in it despite marginalization and oppression at large. Explaining why I still am taking this medication and hoping for weight loss is so tender: there is such a desperate panic to realize you may not fit into a car you bought, despite a lot of research and test drives to find a car that safely fits your body. Or of a partner who loves you but can’t move beyond their internalized fatphobia. Or of a peer who died after surgery to cut off a big belly — like I fantasized about doing for years. The panic of not being able to wipe well in a hospital’s tiny PICU bathroom, not designed for fat bodies, trying to take care of yourself enough so you can take care of your kid who nearly died. The terrible fear and anger of being denied medical care, over and over, by doctors who think we deserve it. None of this shit is my fault, but they’re all very fucking serious in how it impacts your life and well-being. Knowing all I’ve learned and unlearned, loving myself, and connecting with people who feel similarly doesn’t protect me from how other people can ensure my marginalization, isolation, and death. Hoping for weight loss is hoping to live longer simply by people being fractionally more willing to give me medical care. Hoping for weight loss is hoping for more safety in car rides. Hoping for weight loss is hoping for enough ease to make the hard times in life bearable. I think part of why I feel so disconnected from the fat community these days is because it doesn’t feel safe to talk about these feelings out loud. For most of my life, I was the type of person who makes it unsafe. I brought so much trauma to the table that there wasn’t room for anything else. I’ve felt so wounded by fat celebrities who choose bariatric surgery and by smaller-bodied influencers that get to be beloved and uplifted despite leaving behind fatter fans in their collabs and collections. I haven’t been able to connect with so many others over the years due to the ways trauma isolated me through my own fear and panic.

Please please read this beautiful, clarifying, candid essay about the many internally conflicting feelings of starting Ozempic as a superfat person and fat liberationist, written by my friend @photopotamus.

Understanding Bariatric Surgery for Obesity at the Best Multispeciality Hospital in Ahmedabad

Obesity has become a global epidemic and affects people of all ages and backgrounds. It is a serious health condition that can lead to a range of health problems, including diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and more. If you are struggling with obesity and have tried various weight loss methods with little or no success, bariatric surgery may be an option for you.

Bariatric surgery is a type of weight loss surgery that helps people with obesity lose weight by altering their digestive system. The surgery is performed by a team of experienced surgeons at the best multispeciality hospital in Ahmedabad, using state-of-the-art equipment and techniques.

There are several types of bariatric surgery, and your surgeon will recommend the best option for you based on your medical history and overall health. Some of the most common types of bariatric surgery include:

Gastric Sleeve Surgery: This surgery involves removing a portion of the stomach, leaving a smaller sleeve-shaped stomach that helps to reduce hunger and limit the amount of food you can eat.

Gastric Bypass Surgery: This procedure involves creating a small pouch in the stomach and rerouting the small intestine to this pouch. This helps to limit the amount of food you can eat and also limits the number of calories your body absorbs.

Adjustable Gastric Banding: This involves placing a band around the stomach to create a small pouch. The band can be adjusted over time to help limit the amount of food you can eat.

Bariatric surgery is generally considered safe and effective, but it is not a quick fix. It requires a significant lifestyle change, including a healthy diet and regular exercise, to achieve and maintain weight loss. At the best multispeciality hospital in Ahmedabad, a team of experienced doctors, nurses, and dietitians will work with you to develop a comprehensive weight loss plan that meets your unique needs. If you are struggling with obesity and want to learn more about bariatric surgery, contact the best multispeciality hospital in Ahmedabad for a consultation.

Unlocking a Brighter Future: Weight Loss Surgery in Mexico — Costs and Benefits

Are you ready to transform your life? Achieving effective and lasting weight loss demands significant lifestyle changes, including sacrifice, determination, and unwavering resolve. But can you truly reverse the effects of obesity and break free from the patterns that have contributed to this condition? The answer is a resounding "yes," as countless individuals who have undergone weight loss surgery in Mexico can attest.

Exploring the Cost of Weight Loss Surgery in Mexico If you're contemplating surgery as a means to shed those excess pounds, chances are you've already explored various weight loss methods with limited success. Perhaps you're grappling with the detrimental effects of obesity that have taken a toll on your life, prompting you to take decisive action. Whatever your driving force may be, we commend your unwavering determination and courage.

Every significant decision in life inevitably affects multiple facets of our existence, and the financial aspect is no exception. Let's delve into the cost of bariatric surgery. This cost varies depending on your location. For instance, in the United States, weight loss surgery can set you back around $28,000, while in Malaysia, it might cost $11,500. On the other hand, the average cost in Mexico is a more budget-friendly $8,500.

Weight Loss Surgery in Mexico – Unveiling the Advantages Some may perceive weight loss surgery in Mexico as an option only available to a privileged segment of society. However, this couldn't be farther from the truth. Today, bariatric surgeries are becoming increasingly accessible to individuals from all walks of life. Did you know that living with obesity can lead to greater expenses than you might imagine?

Consider the remarkable advantages of undergoing weight loss surgery:

Savings on Medical Expenses: Obesity often leads to conditions like sleep apnea, joint pain, diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol, among others. Treating complicated diabetes, for instance, can be up to twenty-one times more costly than adopting healthier habits. Success stories from these surgeries demonstrate that many individuals can improve, manage, or even reverse these effects, resulting in significant savings in medical expenses.

Enhanced Employment Prospects: Surprisingly, absenteeism from work due to health issues costs thousands of dollars annually. On average, obese individuals miss approximately 7.6 more days of work than their normal-weight counterparts. Furthermore, statistics indicate that both obese men and women tend to earn less, limiting their professional growth opportunities and earning potential.

Reduced Personal Expenses: Beyond medical costs, there are savings in personal expenses such as specialized equipment like walkers, beds, chairs, and clothing. Shopping can be less burdensome as larger sizes are not only harder to find but also more expensive. Additionally, for every hundred pounds, fuel consumption can increase by 2% for vehicle users.

All-Inclusive Packages: A Remarkable Option for Peace of Mind You may wonder why the cost of this surgery varies so significantly across different countries. Medical expenses are influenced by factors such as the type of surgery, health insurance coverage, the healthcare system, and the local cost of living. This has prompted some to explore new healthcare options, including medical tourism, where individuals travel to countries offering top-notch medical services at more affordable rates.

For example, by traveling from the United States or Canada to Mexico, you can save up to 80% on expenses, thanks to favorable currency exchange rates. The stronger US dollar allows you to access premium healthcare services without breaking the bank. This cost advantage extends beyond bariatric surgeries to various medical treatments, including orthopedic surgeries, general surgery, dental procedures, and even cosmetic surgeries like liposuction in Mexico.

In Mexico, you can find medical tourism agencies offering all-inclusive packages. Say goodbye to worries about the cost of a gastric sleeve in Mexico or other bariatric surgeries. These packages cover accommodation, fees, preoperative assessments, consultations, hospitalization, and all essential expenses associated with your surgery. In essence, once you embark on your medical tourism journey to Mexico, your agency takes care of every detail, providing you with upfront pricing and eliminating any surprise fees.

Weight Loss Surgery in Mexico: A Stepping Stone to a Better Quality of Life They say that profound life changes often come with a jolt, signaling the start of a new chapter rather than the end of the world. This sentiment holds true for weight loss. While the journey involves significant changes in daily routines, physical appearance, and mindset, the outcome is a more fulfilled, healthier, and self-assured individual.

At Health & Wellness Bazaar, we are committed to making this transformation a guided experience, equipping you with the tools necessary to achieve your weight loss goals.

Also, the argument isn't 'eww I don't like it'.

It's 'vegan diet causes infants to die', it's 'extreme feederism causes people to die', it's 'you cannot marry minor because they can't consent', it's 'mass production of quinoa is expoilting the people who harvest it', it's 'agave craze is killing bats who fee don it'.

We even have procedures for when you loose your body autonomy, for example due to risk of self-harm or lack of mental capcity to keep yourself safe.

Again, funny how every example you bring only refused your own points.

its okay to be fat! unless you are on purpose. unless you've never tried dieting before. unless you're disabled. unless you're not actively trying to be the healthiest person in the room. unless you sit down. unless you drink soda. unless you aren't fashionable. unless you aren't white. unless you get off on it. unless you exist.

Gallbladder surgery (Cholecystectomy)

Appendectomy (Removal of the appendix)

Hernia repair

Tips To Maintain Results After Liposuction

“Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and stable body weight is crucial post liposuction. However, aftercare measures should be followed with effort, which helps protect your investment in your body as you can still gain weight in other areas!”

Even though it is a tough commitment to maintain a stable body weight and healthy lifestyle due to a sedentary lifestyle, little time for personal goals, and fast-food culture, enjoying a healthy way of living is always recommended.

The liposuction procedure is one of the most requested procedures worldwide, with 350,000 liposuction procedures done alone in the United States of America last year, which is a 7% increase from 2022. Moreover, the global market of liposuction statistics report revealed that the upcoming year is of body contouring surgeries, especially liposuction, and is expected to be worth USD 10278.5 million by 2034.

Liposuction in a glance:

First, liposuction is not a weight loss procedure but has a significant role in body contouring goals. Liposuction surgery removes excess fat from specific areas of the body to change its shape and make it aesthetically pleasing. The common body areas targeted for liposuction include the abdomen, hips and thighs, waist, flanks, arms, chest and back, buttocks, or chin and neck. In addition, liposuction can sometimes be used to remove excess breast tissue in men, a condition called gynecomastia.

Liposuction results may vary; however, no wonder if a patient loses 3-5 pounds post-liposuction surgery. Moreover, if you are overweight, you may be able to have 10-12 pounds of fat removed safely with liposuction.

People who are overweight may consider other weight loss procedures (bariatric/ metabolic surgery) available in the cosmetic surgery faculty. Alternatively, they may follow a strenuous diet or exercise to bring their body to an ideal weight before considering liposuction.

Liposuction works best if you have stubborn body fat in localized body areas but otherwise have a stable body weight.

Once the fat cells are removed from specific body areas, they cannot grow back, but the remaining fat cells may increase in size. However, it is important to maintain a stable body weight followed by a healthy diet and exercise post-liposuction.

Liposuction results are permanent as long as your weight remains the same.

Dr. Karishma Kagodu, a celebrity plastic surgeon and head of Dr. Karishma Aesthetics, Bangalore, will discuss your options and cosmetic concerns during the primary consultation. She will go over everything concerned with surgery, including pre-op preparation, post-op instructions, follow-ups, and post-op measures to achieve a healthy and faster recovery. Ensure you follow Dr. Karishma’s instructions and wear compression garments, following the required measures as directed.

Important tips to be followed for maintaining long-lasting results of liposuction: have a quick look:

Stay at your post-lipo weight (an ideal weight):

Liposuction is not allowed if you are overweight. People who are overweight are instructed to lose weight first and reach the ideal/ stable weight to undergo surgery. While there is no set weight, you need to be for liposuction, but you do need to be within your goal weight. Most surgeons recommend being within at least 30 pounds of your goal weight. And this weight should be stable post-op to enjoy the long-lasting results of liposuction.

Follow a regular exercise regimen:

Maintaining a stable weight is a prerequisite to following a regular exercise routine to keep your body fit and healthy. The best candidates for the procedure are those who live active and healthy lifestyles. And, a healthy and active lifestyle should be followed in both pre-and-post procedures. However, once you get clarification post-surgery to resume vigorous exercise, you must continue regular exercise.

Healthy, nutritious diet:

One of the best ways to maximize your liposuction results is to build muscles and get a healthy and toned body. Since preparing healthy for liposuction is a large part of the success of the results, a healthy lifestyle should be continued post-op to enjoy the long-lasting effect. To protect your liposuction investment, you must incorporate high-protein foods, green veggies, fruits, lean proteins, and whole grains. On the other hand, limit your sugar intake, simple carbohydrates, and saturated fats, i.e., soft drinks, pork, beef, and dairy products.

Drink plenty of water:

Drinking enough water throughout the day can help your metabolism and digestion, maintain energy levels, and avoid the hunger that leads to snacking. So, increasing your water intake can lead to keeping your body weight stable or even losing weight, helping the body burn more calories and keep that body fat off.

Note: Adults lose 24-30% more weight after drinking cold water.
