Enhanced Quality of Life: Many patients experience improved mobility, increased self-esteem, and better overall well-being after surgery.

Long-Term Health Benefits: Studies have shown that bariatric surgery can lead to long-term weight maintenance and improved health outcomes.

Considerations Before Bariatric Surgery

Eligibility: Bariatric surgery is typically recommended for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher, or a BMI of 35 or higher with obesity-related health conditions.

Lifestyle Changes: Successful outcomes often require significant lifestyle changes, including diet modifications and regular exercise.

Risks and Complications: As with any surgery, there are potential risks and complications, such as infections, blood clots, and nutritional deficiencies.

Psychological Impact: It's essential to consider the psychological aspects of undergoing bariatric surgery and seek support if needed.

Insights from Dr. Tarun Mittal

Dr. Tarun Mittal, a premier bariatric surgeon in central Delhi, emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to bariatric surgery.

With the right guidance and support, bariatric surgery can be a life-changing decision.

What Bariatric Surgery?

Bariatric Surgery is weight reduction surgery in which an individual's stomach and fat tissues are surgically addressed through incisions.  This procedure limits the gut’s capacity which helps to avoid overeating. After the removal of unwanted fat tissues through this procedure, the outer skin becomes saggy which looks unpleasant and embarrassing. This unpleasant experience can be overcome by considering tummy tuck.

What is Tummy Tuck/ Abdominoplasty?

Tummy tuck also known as abdominoplasty is a cosmetic plastic surgery performed by a plastic surgeon. This invasive procedure addresses the sagging skin of the abdominal area and corrects it. To do so, incisions around the abdominal area take place. In order to subsides the pain during the procedure, local or general anaesthesia is administered.

[scientia-rex]

Because my most popular post is about weight loss and how it's a crock, I get a lot of questions about various things, including bariatric surgery--just posted the link to the post I did about that--but also Ozempic/Wegovy, the once-weekly injectable semaglutide medication that was developed for diabetes but was found to have independent benefits on weight loss.

I always said that weight loss was like Viagra: when a medication came along that actually worked, it would explode. We'd all hear about it. Fen-phen in the 90s worked, but it was bad for your heart. Stimulants, like meth, may cause weight loss, but they do it at the cost of heart health, and raise your likelihood of dying young. Over the counter weight loss supplements often contain illegal and unlisted thyroid hormone, which is also dangerous for the heart if taken in the absence of a real deficiency. Orlistat, or "Alli," works the same way as the Olestra chips Lays made in the 1990s--it shuts off your ability to digest fats, and the problem with that is that fats irritate the gut, so then you end up with fatty diarrhea and probably sharts. Plus Alli only leads to 8-10lbs of weight loss in the best case scenario, and most people are not willing to endure sharts for the sake of 8lbs.

And then came the GLP-1 agonists. GLP stands for glucagon-like peptide. Your body uses insulin to make cells uptake sugar. You can't just have free-floating sugar and use it, it has to go into the cells to be used. So if your body sucks at moving sugar into the cells, you end up with a bunch of glucose hanging out in places where it shouldn't be, depositing on small vessels, damaging nerves and your retinas and kidneys and everywhere else that has a whole lot of sensitive small blood vessels, like your brain.

Glucagon makes your liver break down stored sugars and release them. You can think of it as part of insulin's supporting cast. If your body needs sugar and you aren't eating it, you aren't going to die of hypoglycemia, unless you've got some rare genetic conditions--your liver is going to go, whoops, here you go! and cough it up.

But glucagon-like peptide doesn't act quite the same way. What glucagon-like peptide does is actually stimulating your body to release insulin. It inhibits glucagon secretion. It says, we're okay, we're full, we just ate, we don't need more glucagon right now.

This has been enough for many people to both improve blood sugar and cause weight loss. Some patients find they think about food less, which can be a blessing if you have an abnormally active hunger drive, or if you have or had an eating disorder.

However, every patient I've started on semaglutide in any form (Ozempic, Wegovy, or Rybelsus) has had nausea to start with, probably because it slows the rate of stomach emptying. And that nausea sometimes improves, and sometimes it doesn't. There's some reports out now of possible gastroparesis associated with it, which is where the stomach just stops contracting in a way that lets it empty normally into the small intestine. That may not sound like a big deal, but it's a lifelong ticket to abdominal pain and nausea and vomiting, and we are not good at treating it. We're talking Reglan, a sedating anti-nausea but pro-motility agent, which makes many of my patients too sleepy to function, or a gastric pacemaker, which is a relatively new surgery. You can also try a macrolide antibiotic, like erythromycin, but I have had almost no success in getting insurance to cover those and also they have their own significant side effects.

Rapid weight loss from any cause, whether illness, medication, or surgery, comes with problems. Your skin is not able to contract quickly. It probably will, over long periods of time, but "Ozempic face" and "Ozempic butt" are not what people who want to lose weight are looking for. Your vision of your ideal body does not include loose, excess skin.

The data are also pretty clear that you can't "kick start" weight loss with Ozempic and then maintain it with behavioral mechanisms. If you want to maintain the weight loss, you need to stay on the medication. A dose that is high enough to cause weight loss is significantly higher than the minimum dose where we see improvements in blood sugar, and with a higher dose comes higher risk of side effects.

I would wait on semaglutide. I would wait because it's been out for a couple of years now but with the current explosion in popularity we're going to see more nuanced data on side effects emerging. When you go from Phase III human trials to actual use in the world, you get thousands or millions more data points, and rare side effects that weren't seen in the small human trials become apparent. It's why I always say my favorite things for a drug to be are old, safe, and cheap.

I also suspect the oral form, Rybelsus, is going to get more popular and be refined in some way. It's currently prohibitively expensive--all of these are; we're talking 1200 or so bucks a month before insurance, and insurance coverage varies widely. I have patients who pay anything from zero to thirty to three hundred bucks a month for injectable semaglutide. I don't think I currently have anyone whose insurance covers Rybelsus who could also tolerate the nausea. My panel right now is about a thousand patients.

There are also other GLP-1 agonists. Victoza, a twice-daily injection, and Trulicity, and anything else that ends in "-aglutide". But those aren't as popular, despite being cheaper, and they aren't specifically approved for weight loss.

Mounjaro is a newer one, tirzepatide, that acts on two receptors rather than one. In addition to stimulating GLP-1 receptors, it also stimulates glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptors. It may work better; I'm not sure whether that's going to come with a concomitantly increased risk of side effects. It's still only approved for diabetes treatment, but I suspect that will change soon and I suspect we'll see a lot of cross-over in terms of using it to treat obesity.

I don't think these medications are going away. I also don't think they're right for everyone. They can reactivate medullary thyroid carcinoma; they can fuck up digestion; they may lead to decreased quality of life. So while there may be people who do well with them, it is okay if those people are not you. You do not owe being thin to anyone. You most certainly do not owe being thin to the extent that you should risk your health for it. Being thin makes navigating a deeply fat-hating world easier, in many ways, so I never blame anyone for wanting to be thin; I just want to emphasize that it is okay if you stay fat forever.

Do I want to lose weight, or do I want the priviledges that come with being skinny?

I’m very fat, and generally I don’t mind it. I’ve been deconstructing diet culture and fatphobia since 2013, and I love my body.

And sometimes it feels like being an ocean fish who is constantly aware of salinity.

Because the messages are always out there! Covert, overt, and unintentional!

My SIL had bariatric surgery last year, and continues to lose weight. And I notice, and yesterday when she picked up her kids we had watched, I noticed, and felt the comparison and disappointment about my own body start to creep in and up, and I began to wonder if maybe I could talk to my nutritionist about adding some weight loss goals.

The answer is no. No I can’t.

So then I have to ask and remind myself: when I look at her, losing weight, and start to feel jealous and like my body is gross, WHAT ARE THE UNDERNEATH MESSAGES?

I want to have a body people don’t judge as lacking when I walk in a room.

- losing weight will not get me that. I’ve lost weight - a LOT of weight - and people will ALWAYS judge your body. Maybe less, maybe more, but SOMEONE will ALWAYS have a negative opinion.

I want to wear cute clothes that fit me.

- Yeah that is absolutely a privilege I want. Not my fault that the fashion industry refuses to work with me, AND that I’m spending my money on grad school rn, not clothes, neither do I sew.

I want to feel good about my body.

- I do. Like, 90% of the time, I do feel good about my body. And years of losing weight have made me understand that for me at least, my weight has nothing to do with this. The worst I ever felt about my body was when I was 17, and weighed 175 (the “recommended” weight for my body), and I felt SO GROSS AND REPULSIVE ALL THE TIME. I feel good about my body when I’m keeping up on my hygiene, eating foods that I make at home and like, going for walks regularly and strength training, and being intentional with my outfits. REGARDLESS OF WEIGHT.

I want the advertised “health benefits” of being thin.

- Despite propaganda, weight loss does not cure anything I have. I would still have fibromyalgia, diabetes, anxiety, etc etc. I know it won’t, because I’ve lost hundreds of pounds over the years, and it never cured me of anything. My symptoms are best managed with stress reduction, consistent movement, and food I like that makes me feel good.

And so I end up back where I started. Yes, I want the privilege of cute, available fashion. Yes, I want the advertised promises of weight loss, but I KNOW they are a lie.

And I know the COST of intentional weight loss for me. Imaginary privileges and fashion access are NOT worth it.

Besides. It would only be temporary.

[yukinojou]

Stuck in the hospital until Friday (all going well but still, I lost the knife fight) and apart from the lack of wifi and hence enforced Tumblr absence, slightly amazed at competent patient first care. Like, dietitian did her measurements and said I might benefit from losing 5 kilo in a nonjudgmental way because the rest of me is solid muscle. Take that, last medical checkup vulture who tried to talk me into bariatric surgery.

(He also disrespected my yoga. I am now reaping the benefits of my yoga because when your core is strong, apparently having the abdominal muscles cut through doesn't hinder you much.)

[quiet-admirer]

What's your thoughts on the average weight increasing? For me personally the end goal would be body neutrality but idk if it's weird but I wouldn't mind if the average person kept getting fatter. Even beyond kink I think it could have some positives like fat people actually being accommodated in places like restaurants since most people would be fat now.

In terms of kink, population health and weight is a turn-off to me. Disinteresting at best and upsetting at worst because it's a bit too close to the kind of real-life fatphobic messaging that I took to heart and contributed to my eating disorder as a kid. As someone in my 30s, I was a child when the "war on obesity" shit was starting, so it's a particular sore point that did not get converted into a fetish for me.

As far as reality, I think population health and weight as a "scientific" field is so severely tainted by moral panic, flawed data obtained from systemically fatphobic sources, and is fundamentally built on assumptions that have been thoroughly refuted by robust research for decades now as to render it... I don't know, unworthy of any serious intellectual consideration I guess I'd say.

That is to say, I spent about 45 seconds looking to fact-check the assumption that human body weight actually is still increasing on average according to what any recent research has to say about it, saw that it looks like it's still the same phrenology-level of bullshit it's always been, and closed the tab with an eye-roll. Even within that whole circle, scientists don't even agree on why they think body weight has been increasing.

But let's say it was all true and people are getting fatter: no I don't think it would lead to systemic change for the benefit of fat people in the timespan of a few decades, in my opinion I think the moral panic would only get worse. We are talking about a society that still performs bariatric surgeries and pushes diabetes medication that can cause gastroparesis as a fun and cool way to lose weight for people who have no health conditions but just happen to be fat.

Understanding the Different Types of Weight Loss Surgery in Ahmedabad

Weight loss surgery, also known as bariatric surgery, is a medical procedure that helps individuals struggling with obesity achieve significant and sustained weight loss. In Ahmedabad, there are several options available for weight loss surgery, each with its own benefits and considerations. In this blog, we will explore three common types of weight loss surgery in Ahmedabad: Obesity Surgery, Weight Loss Surgery, and Bariatric Surgery. By understanding these procedures, individuals can make informed decisions about their weight loss journey.

Obesity Surgery in Ahmedabad:

Obesity Surgery, also referred to as metabolic surgery, is designed to address metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, which are often associated with obesity. This procedure focuses on improving the body's metabolic processes and restoring hormonal balance. It aims to reduce the risks associated with obesity-related health conditions and improve overall well-being.

Weight Loss Surgery in Ahmedabad:

Weight Loss Surgery, as the name suggests, is primarily focused on helping individuals achieve significant weight loss. The procedure involves reducing the size of the stomach or rerouting the digestive system to limit the amount of food that can be consumed and absorbed. This results in reduced calorie intake and increased feelings of fullness, leading to weight loss. The two common types of weight loss surgery are gastric sleeve surgery and gastric bypass surgery.

Gastric Sleeve Surgery: This procedure involves removing a portion of the stomach, creating a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach. This restricts the amount of food that can be eaten and leads to reduced calorie intake. It also helps in reducing hunger and promoting weight loss.

Gastric Bypass Surgery: This surgery involves creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting the digestive system to bypass a portion of the small intestine. This restricts both food intake and the absorption of nutrients, resulting in significant weight loss.

Bariatric Surgery in Ahmedabad:

Bariatric Surgery is a comprehensive approach that combines both metabolic and weight loss aspects. It addresses the underlying causes of obesity, helps in achieving weight loss, and improves metabolic health. The surgery involves various techniques, including gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, and adjustable gastric banding. The choice of procedure depends on individual factors such as body mass index (BMI), health conditions, and surgeon's recommendation.

Benefits of Weight Loss Surgery in Ahmedabad:

Significant and sustained weight loss: Weight loss surgery can lead to substantial and long-lasting weight loss, helping individuals achieve a healthier body weight and reduce the risk of obesity-related health conditions.

Improvement in obesity-related health conditions: Weight loss surgery has been known to improve or even resolve conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and joint pain. This leads to improved overall health and quality of life.

Enhanced metabolic health: Weight loss surgery can improve metabolic health by enhancing insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control, which is particularly beneficial for individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Psychological well-being: Achieving weight loss through surgery often leads to improved self-esteem, body image, and overall psychological well-being. It can help individuals regain confidence and improve their quality of life.

Conclusion: Obesity Surgery, Weight Loss Surgery, and Bariatric Surgery are effective options for individuals seeking significant and sustainable weight loss in Ahmedabad. These procedures offer various benefits, including improved metabolic health, reduction in obesity-related conditions, and enhanced overall well-being. It is crucial to consult with a qualified bariatric surgeon in Ahmedabad to determine the most suitable surgery based on individual needs and medical history. Weight loss surgery, when combined with lifestyle changes and ongoing medical support, can provide individuals with a life-changing opportunity to overcome obesity and improve their health and quality of life.

The Benefits of Liquid Bariatric Vitamins for Post-Surgery Recovery

For individuals who have undergone bariatric surgery, maintaining proper nutrition is essential. Due to changes in the digestive system, absorbing nutrients from traditional tablets or capsules can become challenging. Liquid bariatric vitamins provide a solution by offering an easier, faster way to meet nutritional needs post-surgery. Here’s why liquid bariatric vitamins have become a popular choice for bariatric patients.

Why Choose Liquid Bariatric Vitamins?

After bariatric surgery, the body requires higher levels of vitamins and minerals to aid in recovery and long-term health.

Liquid bariatric vitamins are specifically formulated to bypass common absorption issues, delivering essential nutrients directly to the bloodstream for faster benefits.

Key Benefits of Liquid Bariatric Vitamins

Fast Absorption One of the primary advantages of liquid bariatric vitamins is their high absorption rate. Since the body doesn’t need to break down pills, nutrients are quickly absorbed, making it easier for bariatric patients to get the vitamins and minerals they need.

Pregnancy After Bariatric Surgery: Benefits and Health Implications

Bariatric surgery is a life-changing procedure that offers a way to healthier living for people struggling with obesity. Alongside significant weight loss, this surgical intervention can restore fertility, reduce pregnancy-related complications, and improve overall well-being. However, navigating pregnancy after bariatric surgery requires careful planning, monitoring, and collaboration with a bariatric surgeon in Ahmedabad to ensure the safety of both mother and child. In this article, we will explore the benefits, challenges, and practical considerations of pregnancy post-surgery, empowering women to embrace this transformative journey with confidence.

Benefits of pregnancy after bariatric surgery:

Enhanced fertility:

Obesity can disrupt hormonal balance, leading to infertility and conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Bariatric surgery helps normalise these hormonal imbalances, improving ovulation and increasing the likelihood of conception. Studies show that post-surgery, many women experience restored reproductive health within months.

Healthier pregnancy outcomes:

Significant weight loss reduces the risks of pregnancy complications like gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and hypertension. These improvements not only promote maternal health but also ensure better conditions for fetal development. According to bariatric surgery lowers the likelihood of obesity-related pregnancy complications, leading to healthier babies.

Reduced neonatal risks:

Pregnancies at higher weights can result in macrosomia (large baby size), which can lead to delivery complications. Post-bariatric surgery pregnancies show lower incidences of such risks, increasing the chances of a smooth delivery process.

Improved lifestyle for motherhood:

Weight loss achieved through bariatric surgery can enhance physical mobility, energy levels, and mental health, helping women manage the physical demands of pregnancy and motherhood.

Key considerations and health implications:

Optimal timing for pregnancy:

A bariatric surgeon in Ahmedabad recommends waiting at least 12 to 18 months after bariatric surgery before attempting conception. This period allows for the stabilisation of rapid weight loss and nutritional levels. They suggest conceiving too early may increase risks for both mother and baby due to unstable nutrient levels.

Addressing nutritional deficiencies:

Bariatric surgery, such as gastric bypass, can limit the absorption of essential nutrients like iron, calcium, vitamin D, and B12. These nutrients are essential for fetal development, and deficiencies may lead to complications like anaemia or low birth weight. Regular blood tests and targeted supplementation help mitigate these risks.

Weight management during pregnancy:

While maintaining a healthy weight post-surgery is vital, gaining the recommended amount of weight during pregnancy is equally important. A bariatric surgeon in Ahmedabad uses body mass index (BMI) and other metrics to determine optimal weight gain for a healthy pregnancy.

Increased monitoring for potential risks:

Despite its benefits, pregnancy after weight loss surgery Ahmedabad can pose unique challenges, such as intestinal block or dumping syndrome. Regular check-ups and coordinated care between bariatric specialists and obstetricians ensure early detection and intervention.

Best practices for a healthy post-surgery pregnancy

Comprehensive prenatal care:

Collaboration between bariatric surgeons, dietitians, and obstetricians is paramount. This multidisciplinary approach ensures nutritional adequacy, optimal weight management, and monitoring of any complications.

Nutritional optimisation:

Post-surgery, women should follow a nutrient-dense diet rich in protein, fibre, and vitamins. Including foods like lean meats, dairy products, leafy greens, and fortified cereals can help meet increased nutritional demands during pregnancy.

Supplements and vitamins:

Specialised prenatal vitamins are designed for bariatric patients to balance any deficiencies. Iron, folic acid, calcium, and vitamin D are emphasised to support maternal and fetal health.

Hydration and meal planning:

With reduced stomach capacity, staying hydrated and consuming smaller, frequent meals can help prevent nausea and dumping syndrome. Monitoring sugar intake is extremely important for avoiding sudden drops in blood sugar levels.

Engaging in safe physical activity:

Regular low-impact exercises, such as walking, swimming, or prenatal yoga, improve circulation, reduce stress, and support overall well-being during pregnancy.

Emotional support and counselling:

Adjusting to pregnancy after weight loss surgery Ahmedabad can bring emotional challenges, including body image concerns and dietary changes. Accessing counselling or support groups can help manage these transitions effectively.

Challenges and how to overcome them:

Mental health adjustments:

Post-surgery pregnancies can be emotionally demanding due to hormonal changes and evolving body image. Seeking mental health support and maintaining open communication with loved ones can ease this transition.

Managing morning sickness:

Bariatric surgery patients may experience heightened morning sickness. Eating small, bland meals and staying hydrated can help relieve symptoms.

Addressing dumping syndrome:

Rapid sugar intake can cause nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. Avoiding sugary foods and focusing on protein-rich meals can prevent this condition.

Monitoring for complications:

Rare complications, such as intestinal obstruction, require immediate attention. Understanding warning signs like severe abdominal pain or unexplained nausea ensures timely medical intervention.

Conclusion

Pregnancy after bariatric surgery is a remarkable journey marked by restored health and enhanced fertility. With proper planning, medical supervision, and lifestyle adjustments, women can experience safe pregnancies and healthy outcomes. By prioritising nutritional health, timing pregnancies wisely, and leveraging support systems, mothers can navigate this life-changing chapter with confidence. Weight loss surgery Ahmedabad not only transforms physical health but also opens doors to fulfilling parenthood, proving that with the right approach, challenges can be overcome. For further guidance, consult our expert, Dr.Anand Patel, to make informed decisions about pregnancy post-surgery.
