When it comes to weight loss surgery, people often wonder about the differences between liposuction and bariatric procedures. Before making a decision, it’s important to understand each procedure and think about the goal you are trying to achieve by making yourself the next question: is it primary achieving a certain shape or losing weight? Liposuction is a very popular cosmetic procedure intended to remove existing fat on certain area(s) of the body. This is basically a body contouring procedure, not a weight loss operation. It’s also important to make clear that this procedure is not a cure for sagging skin or cellulitis. Bariatric surgery ( gastric sleeve , gastric bypass, lap-band, etc) is a stomach operation that restricts food intake and/or reduces caloric absorption. Bariatric procedures are focused on improving the quality of life and health of the patient, providing a sustained and long-term weight loss for the treatment of obesity. So, how do you know which is the...

Stay hydrated! Before and after weight loss surgery, our body needs water for proper functioning; this is an essential nutrient in our daily diet.  After a restrictive bariatric procedure (Gastric Sleeve, Gastric Bypass, Lap Band…) you will have a smaller stomach pouch that limits your food and liquids intake. This new stomach capacity enables you to achieve a faster weight loss by making you feel satisfied in a shorter period of time. The optimal fluid intake is 64oz. per day , if you exercise you may require taking more fluids. Not taking enough water and liquids can be dangerous to your health; dehydration is the number one reason why patients are readmitted to the hospital after WLS.  For more tips and information, contact us or follow us on social media!

You might heard about the changing lifestyles according to different times, eras, society’s, etc… the actual reality is that our current lifestyle in America and many other countries became less active than it used to be in the past; many people use buses and cars rather than walking or using bicycle, most people have sedentary jobs or work in offices where they’re sitting for most of the day, recreational or outdoors activities became replaced by digital entertainments where the person spend long period of time sitting or partially moving… Adding the fact that the majority of the people don’t have enough time to exercise daily or prepare their food at home, and they end up eating fast food with poor nutrition elements. This means that the calories they eat are not getting burnt off as energy, instead, the extra calories are stored as fat, leading to weight gain.
