Can the Weight increase again after Bariatric Surgery ( MGB-OAGB Weight Loss Surgery)?

 Doctor: In the long run how to maintain weight?

Patient: You can gain weight if you want. Yes! Doctor: In some cases, patients lose excess weight. In those cases, we have to do an MGB reversal. So, we do this surgery in certain limits that patients won't lose more weight. If we exceed the limit, then you will have weakness. Doctor: How do you maintain your weight? with diet or exercise? Patient: I know about my body and what I eat, Like with milk I gain weight, and when I stop it, my weight stabilizes. Ok. Doctor: Do you drink Alcohol? Patient: No, I don't. Doctor: Some men gain weight with excessive alcohol intake and in some women drinking sweet tea frequently leads to weight gain. Weight depends on calorie intake. Patient: Yes! Doctor: But this surgery is easy to handle , like a car with power steering is easy to drive but you have to drive it. Get your blood tests like Iron, calcium and vitamin b12 done. Patient: According to me, this surgery helps to cure many diseases. Patient: Before surgery, I had severe obstructive sleep apnea. I used to snore loud. Patient: I used to get up suddenly while sleeping. Doctor: We hear this every day. Patient: I used to sleep while sitting. Doctor: Have you had the same problem before surgery? Patient: Yes! I used to sleep while driving. Doctor: We have heard many young people around us die because of sleep apnea. The tongue fall leads to decreased oxygen intake. Patient: Many times I woke up because I feel choked. Doctor: Our design is old, and our intestine is very long, which absorbs everything. It is meant to absorb everything, like the hump at camel's back stores water and it is meant for that. But now we don't need to absorb everything, because of the availability of food. We are habitual to have dinner even after eating snacks. Now, we have changed the internal design, because of which you feel full in less food and absorb less. But weight loss results vary from patient to patient. There are various reasons that affect weight loss such as more sugar intake, alcohol intake, and length of the intestine. You must have noticed that the amount of fat in the stool is reduced now as compared to the amount you were losing immediately after surgery. Patient: Yes! Doctor: If you eat more oily food then you would have more fat in your stools. Patient: Yes! Doctor: In the long run, you should keep a check on this. We have bypassed your intestine and you should check whether it started absorbing again or not. In some patients, the intestine starts absorbing early. You can check this when you eat oily food at the night and next morning you see oil in the stools. If there is no oil in the stool that means your body has adapted to this surgery and your intestine has started absorbing again. That's why you need to do some effort to maintain this surgery. But it is easy to handle. It is very beneficial for diabetic patients. Doctor: Were you diabetic before surgery? Female patient- Yes! Doctor: How were your blood sugar levels in these 5 years after surgery? Patient: My blood sugar levels are under control. Doctor: Do you take any tablets now? Patient: I take one tablet once in a while when I attend any function or party. Doctor: Did you get your Hba1c done? Is it normal? Patient: Yes! Doctor: Did you get your Hba1c done? Patient: Yes! It stays less than 6. Doctor: Ok. Keep it like this only. Don't think your Diabetes is cured with this surgery. Patient: Ok. Doctor: Your blood sugar levels are under control because you are eating less, absorbing less and you have lost a good amount of weight. But if you absorb less then you will feel weakness. Take care of your diet. Eat more salads, fruits and milk products. Take multivitamins regularly. This surgery is easy to handle. Patient: Ok.
