Are you going for weight loss surgery? Well, a new study has said that it is better to shed a few pounds of weight before going for weight loss surgery, which helps in reducing the risk of surgical complications.
The study which was conducted in 881 patients have shown that those who had lost weight before surgery were at less risk to the post surgery complications than those who gained weight before surgery. The study has shown that those persons who did not shed weight before surgery faces risks like infections, kidney problems and blood clots.
The Media quoting Dr. Peter N. Benotti of the Saint Francis Medical Center in Trenton, New Jersey, said the rate of post surgery complication was two fold higher n persons who gained weight than who lost weight.
The study also notes that it will be better for high-risk patients to shed some of the weight before going for weight loss surgery.
