Bariatric surgery and bioimpedance monitoring
What is bariatric surgery?
Bariatric surgery is a surgical procedure with proven benefits for fat mass loss and the improvement of obesity-related complications; however, this type of intervention requires personalized preparation and follow-up to maximize results. Indeed, it can lead to a very significant loss of skeletal muscle mass, promoting weight regain that limits the benefits of the procedure.
With the devices developed by Aminogram, healthcare professionals benefit from precise and objective analysis that enables them to:
- Evaluate the impact of surgery on skeletal muscle mass, fat mass, and hydration through bioimpedance analysis.
- Early detection of nutritional deficiencies, particularly in skeletal muscle mass, by monitoring essential biological markers.
- Personalize support by adjusting nutritional intake and supplementation based on the patient’s actual needs.
- Optimize multidisciplinary care by facilitating information sharing between physicians, dietitians, and other specialists.
- Provide a motivational lever for patients to involve them in their care and maximize their results.
Aminogram thus enables continuous, precise, and individualized monitoring, essential to ensuring effective weight loss while preserving the health and skeletal muscle mass of patients who have undergone bariatric surgery.
