How to Prepare for Bariatric Surgery: A Comprehensive Guide to Ensuring a Successful Procedure

Bariatric surgeries are procedures that can have a significant impact on a person’s life. For those who are preparing for surgery, Doctor Dejeu’s team – the most sought-after bariatric surgery team in Romania, makes some recommendations for such an intervention:

– Consult with your doctor and discuss the available options.

Before making the decision to have surgery, it’s important to discuss the available options with your doctor and consider the pros and cons of each procedure. Choose a surgeon who is experienced in such procedures and a well-trained medical team.

– Adopt a healthy lifestyle.

In the weeks or months before surgery, start exercising regularly and eating a healthy, balanced diet. These changes can help reduce surgical risks and improve the results of surgery.

– Follow your doctor’s instructions.

It is important to follow your doctor’s instructions regarding pre-operative diet, medications to avoid before surgery, and any other special requirements for surgical preparation. Prior to surgery, you should be in good health, with all medical tests recently performed and the results made available to your doctor.

– Prepare yourself mentally.

Bariatric surgery can be stressful and emotional. Prepare by talking with other patients who have had similar surgeries, by reading and understanding what happens during surgery, and by being realistic about your expectations after discharge.

– Make a recovery plan. 

After surgery, you will need to rest and recover. Talk with your doctor about your recovery plan and what you need to do after surgery to make sure you recover quickly and safely. It is also important to follow all post-operative diet and exercise instructions to maximize the benefits of your surgery. It is recommended that your loved ones are informed of your needs. In the following period, so that they can help you if you need it, give you moral support and do not deviate from the new lifestyle you have decided to adopt.

These recommendations come from specialists who annually provide a full range of obesity surgery, psychological and nutritional support appropriate to each patient. The Dr. Dejeu team stands out for its high standard of patient care services and its special concern for their safety and comfort.
