Yes. After the Sleeve and the Gastric Band you can get pregnant immediately but it is recommended to wait until you reach your ideal weight. After Gastric Bypass it is necessary to wait 18 months due to nutrient deficiency during weight loss. Studies have compared pregnancies of bariatric patients with those of people affected by obesity; bariatric patients have a lower rate of preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and miscarriages. Children of bariatric patients are also less likely to be overweight or underweight at birth.

Some patients temporarily lose some hair between the sixth and ninth month after the Bypass procedure. In your post-operative visits with Dr. Lizcelly, a specialist in bariatric nutrition, adjustments are made to your protein, vitamin and mineral intake to prevent hair loss.

With weight loss, it is very likely that you will stop taking medications for obesity-related diseases such as hypertension and diabetes. It is important to monitor your development to make the corresponding changes.

Yes, but it's hard for severely obese people to be successful with diet and exercise. When the diet is prolonged, the body makes biological modifications by reducing metabolism, increasing caloric absorption and hunger. When the diet is "broken" other changes occur that help obesity increase. Slower metabolism, greater predisposition to fat accumulation and deterioration in the fat burning process are some of these changes. The Panel of Experts of the National Institutes of Health (USA) recognize that “long-term” weight loss for people suffering from severe obesity is only possible through bariatric surgery. According to scientific studies, only 5% of people who are on a diet manage to maintain long-term weight loss (3 to 5 years). [1][2] Compared to 5% of diets, 90% of bariatric patients maintain a loss of more than 50% of excess weight in the long term. [3] [1] Grodstein, Levine, Spencer, Colditz, Stampfer, 1996.

No. Gastric Plication is in the research stage and its long-term results are not yet known. For us the most important thing is the health and well-being of our patients and therefore we do not consider offering this procedure until there is sufficient evidence that it is safe and effective in the long term This is a procedure that the ASMBS (highest authority on bariatric procedures) considers should only be performed in an academic setting as part of a research protocol. Here you will find the ASMBS link with more details.

If your job is desk-based, you can return in 3 days with a gastric band, 6 days with a sleeve, and 7 days with a gastric bypass. In the case of metabolic surgery it depends on the individual case of the patient. If your work is physically demanding, a longer period of maximum 15 days is necessary.

Like any surgical intervention, bariatric surgery can present risks, some serious and others simply annoying. The risks depend on the patient's health condition, the procedure to be performed and the experience of the surgeon. It is important to discuss these risks directly with your surgeon.

Sensitivity to alcohol (particularly if consumed during the period of weight loss) is increased. The effects of alcohol are felt with fewer drinks than before surgery. Studies find that with gastric bypass the consumption of an alcoholic beverage increases blood alcohol to higher levels than before the procedure. Therefore, certain precautions are recommended: Limit consumption during the period of rapid weight loss. Take into account that even small amounts can cause poisoning.

Bariatric procedures can cause vitamin, mineral, and protein deficiencies. These can cause fatigue, anemia, bone and muscle loss, impaired night vision, lowered immunity, loss of proper nerve function, and even cognitive defects. Fortunately, everything can be avoided with a proper diet and the use of dietary supplements. Our patients receive nutritional recommendations before and after surgery where their levels are monitored by our expert doctor in bariatric nutrition.
