Blood transfusions are rarely needed during surgery. There is almost no blood loss in surgeries performed with the robotic method. Sometimes blood transfusion may be implemented to improve post-operative healing.

Due to the restriction of the new anatomy created after obesity, fewer calories are taken than the current need of the person. The body has to make up for the difference by burning off reserves or unused tissue. Your body will tend to burn off unused muscle before it starts burning fat.

The period from the first six months to a year after bariatric surgery is called the honeymoon period. The reason is that the patients are focused on their surgery and more willing to follow the rules. However, some patients have problems in adapting to the anatomical and functional effects of this surgery. These patients may find themselves returning to their old habits in time. Eating healthy, learning to listen to your body, and taking responsibility for your choices and regular exercise is a lifelong commitment.

We strongly recommend that women wait at least one year after bariatric surgery to get pregnant. About a year after the surgery, your body becomes quite stable in terms of weight and nutrition.

The new stomach created by your surgery needs time to heal properly. When you can eat solid foods, you should not consume more than 3 meals a day. Protein from lean meat (chicken, turkey, and fish) and other low-fat sources should be eaten first. These should make up at least half of the meal. Foods should be cooked with little or no oil. You should avoid sauces, butter, margarine, mayonnaise, etc. You should never eat between meals. You should drink plenty of water. Due to the restrictive effect of the surgery, you should drink the water slowly. You should exercise for at least 20 minutes each day (e.g., walking 1.5 to 2 km, cycling, climbing stairs). Weight / resistance exercises can be added 3 to 4 days a week, within the knowledge of your doctor.
