There are a lot of bariatric weight loss surgery available like lap band surgery, vertical sleeve etc. No matter what kind of operation procedure you choose, it is very important that you adhere to guidelines prior to surgery. Since rapid weight loss is obtained with a short span of time, patient should maintain a proper eating lifestyle as well as exercise habits. If it is not maintained, then the surgery would be absolutely futile and one would again start gaining weight like in the past.

When there is one week left for surgery, then the patient should eat a healthy diet rich in proteins and carbohydrates. They can even opt for mild exercise like jogging either in the morning or evening. Any kind of intoxicants should be avoided and should be abstained from for at least 4 weeks after the weight loss surgery. When there is one day left fir the surgery, then don’t take in a lot of stress. Make sure that you have not eaten anything at least 8 hours prior to the operation. The stomach has to be empty then so that the surgery can be performed with ease.
