After the surgery how often do I see the doctor?
As you recover from the surgery, we will continue to closely monitor your progress at Davtyan Medical Weight Loss and Wellness near Marina Del Rey. Typically, you will have your first follow-up appointment two weeks after the surgery, followed by another appointment six weeks later. Afterward, we will schedule regular appointments at the three-month, six-month, nine-month, and one-year marks to ensure that you are transitioning well. These visits are crucial for us to assess your vitamin and mineral levels, especially after procedures like gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy, as well as to track your protein intake. Additionally, we will schedule annual appointments to maintain your long-term well-being.
Can bariatric surgery be reversed?
While some bariatric procedures may technically be reversible, reversal surgery is not appropriate for every patient and may involve additional risks. Patients considering bariatric surgery should discuss long-term expectations, potential complications, and future treatment considerations during the consultation process. Our team works closely with patients to determine the safest and most appropriate treatment plan for their individual health needs.
Is there anyone who should not have bariatric surgery?
At Davtyan Medical Weight Loss and Wellness near Marina Del Rey we understand the significance of bariatric surgery. Before undergoing this transformative procedure, it is crucial for individuals with psychiatric conditions such as depression, bipolar disease, and/or schizophrenia to seek the guidance of a psychiatrist. These conditions may be amplified by the physical changes associated with weight loss. While rare, there are specific medical conditions that may pose risks and should be carefully considered. Rest assured, if patients meet the outlined eligibility guidelines, they have a remarkable opportunity to achieve success through this surgery.
How long will I be in the hospital?
At Davtyan Medical Weight Loss and Wellness near Marina Del Rey we understand that you may be wondering about the length of your hospital stay. For Gastric Band patients, rest assured that you can go home the same day as your surgery. However, it’s important to note that most patients typically stay in the hospital for one to two nights following the surgery, unless an unforeseen complication arises. Your well-being is our utmost priority, and we are here to provide you with a seamless and comfortable experience throughout your journey.
