Weight Loss Surgery Aftercare
Our Weight Loss Surgery Aftercare Service is completed by two years of contact with your surgeon, specialist Bariatric Nurses and HCPC Registered Dietitian. This team will ensure you receive the care you need following your surgery and provide expert advice regarding recovery, including any necessary and advisable long-term dietary changes.
Gastric Sleeve Surgery
Typically performed laparoscopically, a sleeve gastrectomy involves removing around 80% of the stomach. The result is a tube or sleeve-like structure. The purpose of the gastric sleeve is to limit food intake, and you should expect a recovery time of 6 – 8 weeks with 1-2 weeks off work.
The expected weight loss from the sleeve gastrectomy is up to 70% of your excess weight, as measured over a period of 2 years.
After surgery, the anatomy of the stomach will be permanently altered and you will require to change your diet in order to make a safe and effective recovery. Our dietitian will help you with this.
Gastric Bypass Surgery
Allure Weightloss offer the traditional Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass as well as the Mini-Gastric Bypass. These procedures are similar in nature and differ slightly (yet significantly enough) in the way in which they are performed by consultant surgeons. By limiting the available space inside your stomach, the bypass restricts food intake as well as the production of the hunger hormone, ghrelin. A bypass may be performed even if a patient has had the gastric sleeve in the past.
Expected weight loss is up to 70% of excess weight.
