Post Surgery
After you have had your surgery, your
consultant, alongside our dietitians will give you a specifically
designed eating plan to follow. No matter which procedure you
and your consultant decides upon, you will be changing your eating
habits significantly (which may include: eating three meals a day,
eating healthily and avoiding foods and habits that may be
harmful).
Our specialists will continue you follow-up
for at least one year to help you obtain optimum results from your
surgery.
Stabilisation
Following surgery, most patients will lose
weight under supervision and continue to do so for 18 to 24 months.
Most patients settle into a new dietary pattern by one year
post-op. At this point referral back to the local GP is made with
long term monitoring advice.
Cosmetic and Plastic &
Reconstructive Surgery
At The London Clinic we have a team of
specialist consultants who have many years of experience in
enhancing and improving the body, especially after weight loss
surgery.
After experiencing such dramatic weight loss
many patients will experience loose wrinkling skin and loss of tone
throughout the body. Cosmetic surgery, such as a body lift,
is often necessary after massive weight loss from gastric
surgery. The body lift will remove excess sagging skin and
fat tissue from around the thighs, abdomen, hip area, buttocks and
any other areas of the body requiring attention.
