Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about bariatric surgery? We’re here to help. Explore our frequently asked questions to find answers to common inquiries about the procedures, recovery, and more.
What is bariatric surgery, and how does it work?
Bariatric surgery is a type of weight loss surgery that helps individuals lose weight by restricting the amount of food the stomach can hold and, in some cases, altering the digestive process. These procedures lead to weight loss by either reducing the stomach’s size or changing the way the body absorbs calories.
Am I a candidate for bariatric surgery?
The eligibility for bariatric surgery depends on various factors, including your BMI (Body Mass Index), overall health, and previous weight loss attempts. It’s best to schedule a consultation with Dr. DeWitt to determine if you’re a suitable candidate.
Are there different types of bariatric procedures available?
Common bariatric procedures include Gastric Bypass, Sleeve Gastrectomy, Adjustable Gastric Banding (Lap-Band), Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS), Intragastric Balloon, and Mini Gastric Bypass. Each procedure has its own benefits and considerations.
What are the benefits of bariatric surgery?
Bariatric surgery can lead to significant weight loss, improved overall health, and resolution or improvement of obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea. It can also enhance the quality of life and increase mobility.
What is the typical recovery process after bariatric surgery?
Recovery varies depending on the procedure, but generally, patients can return to normal activities gradually. There will be dietary restrictions and post-operative follow-ups to monitor progress.
How much weight can I expect to lose after bariatric surgery?
Weight loss varies among individuals, but many patients experience substantial and sustainable weight loss after surgery. Results depend on factors like the chosen procedure and adherence to post-operative guidelines.
