Weight loss journey from VSG
Fit3D helps multiple clients in the medical weight loss space track the progress of their clients through 3D body scans. One field that we've seen some amazing results is in the Bariatrics space, as shown by the client example below.
Bariatric surgery is a medical procedure used to help people with obesity lose weight and improve their health. It involves surgically altering the digestive system to reduce the amount of food a person can eat or absorb. The most common types of bariatric surgery include gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and adjustable gastric banding.
Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG) is a surgical weight loss procedure that involves removing a portion of the stomach to reduce its size and limit the amount of food it can hold. During the procedure, the surgeon removes approximately 80-85% of the stomach leaving behind a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach. This reduces the amount of food a person can consume at one time, leading to a feeling of fullness after eating smaller portions. Additionally, the removed portion of the stomach produces the hunger hormone ghrelin, so its removal can also help reduce hunger and food cravings. As a result, VSG can be an effective tool for long-term weight loss and improved health outcomes for those struggling with obesity.
One of the main benefits of 3D body scans to a Bariatrics practice is showing prospective clients before & after 3d scans of clients which can act as a quantifiable case study of your pre & post surgery results. It provides a solid example of what clients can expect & helps start a conversation prospects. If you want to learn more about the ease of Fit3D scans for your practice, schedule a demo with us today.
