There is a risk of developing vitamin or mineral deficiencies following any type of weight loss surgery. You will be eating smaller portions of food, so it is more difficult to obtain sufficient vitamins and minerals from your diet alone. After the gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy, absorption of vitamins and minerals is also affected. We recommend that all patients take certain vitamin and mineral supplements to fill their nutritional gaps. Post-operative supplement recommendations vary depending on the type of procedure you have chosen.
We offer a variety of supplements and products to purchase. They can address your specific nutritional requirements, ensuring that you are on track to achieving your weight loss target whilst maintaining optimal health. Our experienced dietitians are at hand to answer your questions and discuss any concerns you may have during your weight loss journey.
If you are having surgery with us, it is likely that incisions will be made to the skin. The size and location of the incisions will depend on the type of surgery you are having. You may be considering scar treatment options as part of your long-term scar management plan. Options can be discussed with your surgeon and surgeon assistant.
When skin is wounded due to surgery or other trauma, scar tissue develops as part of the body’s natural healing process. The formation of scar tissue is a complex process, which begins when the dermis (the middle layer of skin) is torn due to the injury.
Monitoring your scar will help you to track its progress and catch any problems early, but you need to avoid touching the area unnecessarily. Try to keep the area clean and dry, but make sure you clean your hands before applying any creams or gels that you have been advised to use. Never pick scabs, as this prolongs the healing process and increases the risk of infection. Every scar is different so make sure you follow the specific advice given to you by your surgeon. We have various scar treatments available.
All of our products can be ordered by getting in touch or by placing an order with your weight loss advisor. Your advisor will ensure the products are ready for you to take home when you leave the hospital following your procedure or sent to your home address. If you need to place an order for additional products, please contact your weight loss advisor.
