Gastric surgery, or the sleeve, is an increasingly popular option for those struggling with tackling obesity of late.
It provides a permanent surgical intervention that leads to substantial and sustained weight loss compared to traditional dieting methods… Some say it’s a cop-out, but it really isn’t!
‘Just eat better and do some exercise’
(Yeah, we never thought of that!)
While many of you attempt various diets, pills and fads in the hope of shedding excess weight, the reality is that long-term success remains elusive for a significant number of you, with scale fail and diet disasters being all too common, and of course the negative impact on both the body and mind can be huge too!!
Undertaking the sleeve procedure is a lifestyle game changer!
Post-surgery you need to be ready to get your head around a lot:
- You can’t eat huge meals (but you can still eat)
- You’ll not be able to binge eat (or you will throw up)
- You won’t need to calorie count anymore
- You can’t guzzle fluids in large amounts
- You can still drink alcohol (if you want to)
- You’ll learn to listen to your body when it’s full (burp)
- You’ll have way more energy
- Your body wont ache and creak under the weight anymore
- You’ll barely recognise yourself
- You’ll look and feel younger
- Your confidence will soar
- You’ll have to replace your whole wardrobe
In a nutshell, gastric surgery here in the UK with the NOSC really works! It alters the entire physiology of your digestive system, which aids in limiting your food intake, reducing those pesky hunger hormones, and enhances feelings of fullness faster, but we should also mention some of the downsides too:
- It’s permanent (you have to go some to stretch it out)
- Overeating can be embarrassing
- You’ll never all-day breakfast again
- You’ll face some jealousy and stupid remarks
- You’ll have moments when you just want the biggest burger
- You’ll forever kick yourself for not having done it sooner
Gastric surgery safely here in the UK with us leads to rapid and sustained weight loss, resulting on average in the loss of around 20-30% of your total body weight within the first year post-surgery, a feat that typically takes much longer than relying solely on dietary changes or extreme bouts of exercise, if of course you stay the course!
The long-term benefits of gastric surgery extend far beyond just weight loss. Recent studies have shown that many patients not only maintain their reduced weight but also experience improvements in obesity-related health conditions, such as type two diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnoea, as well as an improvement in overall wellbeing and mental health.
The supportive environment that the NOSC provide both pre and post-surgery include nutritional education, enhancing your relationship with food and promoting a healthier lifestyle, as well as support from other patients and our team of experts, some of whom have undergone the surgery themselves.
Of course we all know that dieting and a healthy lifestyle can serve as a useful tool for weight management, but gastric surgery offers a more effective and enduring solution for those who struggle to stay on track, altering both body and mind for a healthier happier future.
