Risks

If you don’t follow your diet properly, you may face complications like

  • Dumping syndrome: If too much food enters small intestine rapidly, you may experience nausea, vomiting, dizziness and diarrhoea.
  • Dehydration: Because you aren’t supposed to drink fluids with your meals, some people become dehydrated.
  • Constipation: Lack of fibre or fluid can cause constipation.
  • Stomach blockage: Food can block the opening of your stomach which can cause nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Call your doctor at best weight loss surgery centre in Jalandhar if symptoms persist for more than two days.
  • Weight gain or no loss: If you gain weight or fail to lose it, talk to your doctor.
