Nutrition after gastric sleeve surgery
Since food absorption will decrease after surgery, people should take care to get all the minerals and vitamins they need from their diet. During the first week, only liquid foods should be given, and during the second week, a transition to pureed foods should be made. After three months, it is possible to switch to meat-type proteins and solid foods. Since the stomach is shaped like a banana during sleeve gastrectomy surgery, the body must be able to adapt to the new shape of the stomach.
Body Mass Index in Tube Stomach Surgery
Morbidly obese people with a body mass index above 40 are suitable for this operation.
