The vast majority of the patients following their bariatric surgical procedure will be able to substantially change and thus improve their way of life. This new acquired lifestyle will notably create a healthier outlook on life; which means that their associated medical conditions such as high blood pressure, cholesterol and triglycerides, blood glucose management, and their underlying cardiovascular disorders will be substantially improved, if not entirely corrected.

 

As a result of this, the patient should, and will be able to live a normal life. In terms of actual weight loss, the general rule for most of these patients is that once they lose their weight they should be able to maintain 60 to 70% of that weight loss (this may vary according to the chosen bariatric surgical procedure).

 

Let us not forget that along with the changes obtained, the patient must commit to a regimen of regular exercise program avoiding a sedentary lifestyle at all costs. We cannot forget that this also includes the necessity of healthy and judicious eating habits.

 

As a result of this, we understand that the patient will need the support and guidance not only throughout the entire procedure, but also, and in some cases even more important, following the surgical procedure.

 

Dr. Manuel Joseph Ramirez K. and his staff will be available at all times to guide and offer the incentives needed for your successful change in lifestyle.
