5 Mistakes People Make After Gastric Surgery
Gastric surgery is a method by which thousands of patients resort to losing weight faster. In Mexico, this kind of surgery is highly requested, mainly by patients from the United States. One of the reasons for having weight loss surgery in Mexico is the excellent quality of service and results, as well as the affordable prices that can only be obtained in Mexico.
However, many people do not know that regardless of the procedure’s success, there are factors that can delay or impair the recovery of the patient who underwent this kind of surgery.
Hard exercise
If exercise is part of your routine, you should keep this in mind. When we talk about hard exercise, we refer to any exercise that requires more significant force, especially in the abdominal area.
An example of this could be weight lifting or any other exercise that requires a similar effort. However, some activities such as walking will help you a lot to make your recovery faster, although, of course, another thing you should keep in mind is that you should avoid continuous exercise. It is essential to take breaks constantly to prevent injury, even when it is a simple walk.
After a month, which is the average recovery time for this kind of surgery, you can return to your exercise routine; remember, this is an average time, maybe your recovery will be sooner, or it will take longer, that is why you must go to your check-up appointments so that your doctor can tell you when you can resume your activities.
Drinking alcohol
Alcohol consumption is not recommended after gastric sleeve surgery. The main reason is that alcohol remains longer in the blood, which causes your recovery to be slower, and in extreme cases, it can cause intoxication. Other reasons are the excess of carbohydrates and sugars, among other variables.
Not following the diet correctly.
After gastric surgery, you must follow the diet that the nutritionist in question has given you. Besides the fact that it will help you lose weight, recovery will be much faster.
It may sound exaggerated, but the slightest change in your diet during recovery can be drastically detrimental. The consumption of sugary drinks, energy drinks, and the aforementioned alcoholic beverages are among the primary restrictions. Because your stomach has become the size of a banana, excess carbohydrates or sugar would affect your recovery.
Missing your checkups
Not attending your scheduled checkups can affect your health and prolong recovery. Some people overlook it and decide not to follow it anymore because they feel fine and begin to perform daily activities. The consequence of this is some health repercussions or weight gain.
The time of the check-ups depends significantly on the surgeon who performed the procedure. Remember that everyone is different and has a personalized treatment that suits them.
Having another gastric surgery in a short period.
Although there are other types of gastric bypass, it is advisable to attend the surgeon for an evaluation to determine whether or not you are suitable for gastric surgery. There are people who, once they have undergone surgery such as the gastric sleeve bypass, immediately want to undergo another, which is impossible since the body requires time to recover completely.
