Myth 1– Weight Loss Surgery is a one day program

The human body is not designed to adapt sudden changes. A loss of 10 kilograms within a day can be fatal to a patient. The whole procedure of weight loss has to be planned and pre-surgery and post-surgery precautions are implied. One has to take precautions in the form of maintaining a liquid diet, exercising regularly, etc., before the actual surgery takes place. Similarly, after the surgery the guidelines of the surgeon need to be followed.
