Your healthcare provider may recommend losing some weight before undergoing gastric sleeve surgery, as it can help reduce the size of your liver and make the procedure safer and more effective. Additionally, losing weight before surgery can help you develop healthier habits and improve your overall health, which can improve your recovery and long-term weight loss outcomes.
However, it's important to note that every individual case is unique, and your healthcare provider will make a recommendation based on your specific health needs and circumstances. In some cases, it may not be safe or necessary to lose weight before surgery.
If your healthcare provider recommends losing weight before surgery, they may provide you with a personalized diet and exercise plan to help you achieve your weight loss goals. This may involve consuming high-protein, low-calorie foods, avoiding certain foods and beverages, and getting regular exercise.
It's important to follow your healthcare provider's recommendations and seek their guidance throughout the process to ensure the best possible outcomes.
