After undergoing gastric bypass, patients may experience a decrease in their desire for fatty foods.
The
study, which looked at what sort of foods patients who underwent the surgery incorporated into their
post-bariatric surgery diet. It found that many patients shunned fats high in fat and instead made healthier choices for their post-bariatric surgery diet. Interestingly enough, a study of lab rats found a similar effect lasting up to 200 days after surgery.
The researchers said the avoidance of fatty foods as part of a post-bariatric surgery diet may be attributed to hormones. An increase in certain types of hormones may lead to unpleasant digestive feelings, causing patients to curb their intake of fatty food and drinks.
Of course, in order to maintain the positive effects of the surgery, a healthy post-bariatric surgery diet is necessary. Of great importance, too, for many patients are
body contouring procedures which are often needed after losing a great deal of weight.
Cosmetic surgeons often perform body contouring for patients who exhibit loose skin and pockets of fat on the body. These surgeries can include a
tummy tuck,
thigh lift,
breast lift and sometimes and overall
body lift.
