Bariatric surgery: what it does change and what it does not

There is a very widespread and very mistaken idea: that having surgery solves the problem and from then on you can eat anything. It is worth clarifying before taking the step.

What surgery does not do

Having bariatric surgery does not mean skipping diet or exercise. On the contrary: it requires adapting your eating towards a pattern low in carbohydrates and fats and rich in protein, and keeping it over time.

What surgery does do

It is a great help for sticking with physical activity, because once the excess weight is gone the body finally cooperates. And above all, it takes hunger out of the equation: that gives the patient back the self-control they had been fighting to recover for years.

The results

The results speak for themselves. Patients lose a lot of weight and, above all, they are satisfied with the change. Here is the testimony of a much-loved patient: he went serious in front of the camera, but very soon after surgery he describes a clear improvement in his daily life.
