Getting The Most From Bariatric Surgery

Getting The Most From Bariatric Surgery


After bariatric surgery, success depends on you. The changes you make have to be for life. Follow the instructions given on nutrition and activities. Seek support from those close to you. They may help you adjust to your new life.

What to expect while you lose weight

After surgery, most will probably lose weight consistently on a monthly basis. The most rapid weight loss occurs during the first 6 months after surgery. Most patients lose more than half their excess weight in the first year and a half. After that period, it is possible to win back a small amount of weight. This is normal. Chances are that you will not get to your ideal weight, but most certainly you will achieve a healthier weight. All will depend on your commitment to achieve a healthier life.

Changing your eating habits

The following guidelines may help you stay healthy:
  • Choose foods high in protein to help prevent nutritional problems.
  • Eat slowly. Take small bites and chew each bite before swallowing.
  • Stop eating as soon as you feel full.
  • Do not eat snacks between meals.
  • Drink unsweetened liquids such as water. Drink them between (not during) meals. Wait 1 hour after meals before drinking liquids.
  • Take vitamins as directed.
  • Avoid high-fiber foods, such as celery, string beans and unprocessed meat.
  • Avoid alcohol and carbonated drinks.
  • Be active

The following tips can help:
  • Choose a form of exercise you enjoy.
  • Exercise at your own pace.
  • Ask a friend to join you.
  • Keep track of your activity on a calendar or a notebook. Some people believe that this is a good way to monitor your progress and stay motivated.

How To Choose Your Bariatric Surgeon

How to choose your surgeon


When we are ready to buy a good or service, we take time to research, at least we should. More so when it is a service of great importance such as an attorney or accountant. After all it is the beginning of an important professional relationship. But when it comes to putting our lives in the hands of someone else, it may be the most important decision of our lives.


Choosing the right surgeon is not an easy task. And it shouldn't be. Unlike other services, our health is not negotiable, besides the relationship with your doctor might last a lifetime. But then how do you choose the right surgeon?


First of all, it certainly is a personal choice, some choose someone by personal recommendation, others someone close to the family. Others do their research on the internet or out of the phone book. That being said, here we share some tips that you should always consider:


1. Experience is key. The more experience a surgeon has, the less chance there is of complications or even death. But be careful, age is not everything. An analysis of Medicare data for nearly 461,000 patients found that while surgeons over age 60 with low surgical volumes had higher patient mortality rates on some procedures, those who continued to maintain high surgical caseloads had comparable outcome with surgeons ages 41 to 50.


The frequency with which a surgeon operates is vital, especially in relatively new procedures such as bariatric surgery. Even in the United States, not many surgeons are qualified for gastric bypass surgery, so you need to make sure your surgeon has enough workload.


2. Doctors, like students, are constantly being evaluated. Now everything is reviewed, from basic care to treatment of chronic diseases. That is why your surgeon should have at hand credentials both for medical training and area of expertise.


4. A good doctor needs good facilities to work. Some surgeons feel the need to improvise in extreme situations. Yet, this is not your case, so you must find the place where your surgeon is operating to be high quality, clean, and adequate to ensure your health.


Fortunately, Hispano Americano Hospital in Mexicali, Mexico, has fully equipped rooms ready for any surgical procedure as recommended by our specialists.


5. The best reference that a surgeon can give is his patients. You should check out for the procedure itself as well as information on short and long term recovery. All doctors have available references from their patients, do not be afraid to ask for them.


6. Be careful of the cost. Prices for health care have soared in the last decade to the point of making them unaffordable for large part of the population. But beware: a very low price is a red flag and you may be risking your life.


Fortunately surgery in Mexico has become an affordable and reliable option for many patients seeking high quality health care.


7. In Hispano Americano Hospital in Mexicali, Mexico, we have  highly experienced certified physicians, a friendly and professional staff, and top notch facilities. In addition we offer American and Canadian patients with weight problems an affordable option without skimping on giving you the best service.
