Lost 60 Kg with MGB-OAGB Surgery |2 years after Bariatric Surgery...

Doctor:Mr. Zishan could you please tell us when did you get Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery done? Patient:My surgery was done on August 08, 2019, approximately 2 years ago. Doctor:How much was your weight at the time of surgery? Patient:147 Kg. Doctor:How much weight have you lost? Patient:I have lost approx. 60 Kgs. Doctor:What benefits did you get after losing 60 kgs? Patient:My life is totally changed after losing weight. Doctor:Tell us the benefits you got? Patient:I went to a factory after surgery and I went on the 4th floor by using stairs, without any difficulty. Patient:This was not possible before surgery. I used to go step by step before surgery and can hardly reach to 2nd floor. Doctor:Ok, It was difficult for you to reach the 2nd floor through the stairs (step by step). Patient:Yes! Doctor:Now, you have gone on the 4th floor without any difficulty. Patient:Yes! without feeling breathless. Doctor:Did you use to snore before surgery? Patient:Yes! I used to snore loudly and I was using a CPAP machine also. But Patient:Now, I don't snore and also sleep comfortably. Doctor:Now, you don't snore and don't need any machine too? Patient:Yes! I don't need anything. Doctor:This is called Sleep Apnea. Do you make others aware of it? Patient:Yes! Doctor:It is very common in people, who have heavy necks and who snore while sleeping. Patient:You had given me the CPAP machine and I have kept that at home. Patient:My father has used that, also my known person needed that, so I had given to them. I suggest everyone who snores while sleeping, use that machine. Doctor:Because people are not aware of this problem. Patient:Yes! Doctor:Lack of awareness leads to the death of many famous people while sleeping.The reason is very simple to understand that fatty tissues around the neck lead to tongue fall and causes airway obstruction.The main sign of Sleep Apnea is Daytime sleepiness. Doctor:Did you sleep in the daytime before surgery? Patient:Yes! Doctor:and now? Patient:No sleep in the daytime now. Doctor:This is the major improvement in the case of Sleep Apnea. Patient: I don't feel sleepy in the daytime, my habit of daytime sleepiness is totally gone now. Doctor:You have lost 60 kgs, now you need to take care of a few things.You need to do some exercise to tone up your muscles.We don't want you to lose bone and muscle mass.This is up to you. If you do some exercise you won't lose them You don't need to work out for 4-5 hours, 15-20 minutes of daily exercise is enough.Doing push-ups or sit-ups every other day is equally beneficial for you. Patient’s Father:He doesn't do any work out, we do ask him to do exercise but he doesn't listen to anyone. Doctor:You should thank God that he has given you one chance and wisdom to make the decision to go for Bariatric surgery.Many people have everything in life but still, they can't take the decision to go for this surgery.The decision needs courage because everyone fears surgery. Doctor:Have you had any kind of fear in your mind about this surgery? Patient:I was searching for weight loss surgery, then I met one of your patients who was a brick manufacturer in my area, he explained to me everything about the surgery and his weight loss journey. Patient:I met him after a few months and he was totally transformed. Doctor:This is our patient-to-patient chain. He has explained everything to you.But still, you must have fear in your mind. Doctor:Because doing surgery on a heavy patient is always risky. Patient’s Father:The person who suggested this surgery to us has got his surgery, his wife, and his son's surgery done from here only. Doctor:Was this surgery easy for you? Patient:I didn't even realize that I get any surgery. Doctor:You had no problem? Patient:No, nothing. Doctor:We give TIVA Anesthesia to the patient and this is not a paralyzing agent.This helps in the speedy recovery of patients after surgery. Doctor:Had you started to walk on the same day of surgery? Patient:Well! I don't remember much, but I know that I went to the restroom in the evening by myself. Doctor:We don't insert urinary catheters. Patient:Yes! no catheter was inserted in my case too. Doctor:We give TIVA (specialized anesthesia) and it takes 15-20 minutes to complete the surgery, which results in speedy recovery of the patient after surgery. Can you eat like a normal person or have you ever had vomiting after eating food in these 2.5 years? Patient:Only once or twice in these 2.5 years. Doctor: That's normal.Can you eat 1-1.5 chapatis in one go? Patient:Yes! with vegetables or lentils. Doctor:When you have a meal in a group, no one can guess that you got bariatric surgery. Patient: No. Patient’s Father: He has no problem eating anything. Doctor:In older techniques, doctors used to make 30 ml pouch and patients had problems eating anything.MGB is better in this aspect.Take care of this and start doing some exercise. Doctor:Are you taking multivitamins regularly? Patient:Yes! I am taking, but sometimes I skip.
