Bariatric Surgery Case Study: Kael Sangnam

Background:

Kael Sangnam, a 37-year-old with a BMI of 34.7, had been struggling with several health issues, including sleep apnea, shortness of breath, and persistent back pain. Despite various attempts to manage her weight, these health conditions continued to affect her quality of life. Realizing that these conditions were closely linked to her weight, Kael decided to undergo a gastric sleeve procedure to improve her health and overall well-being.

Name: Kael Sangnam
Age: 37 Years
Initial Weight: 90 kg
Height: 161 cm
BMI: 34.7
Operation Date: March 5, 2024
Procedure: Gastric Sleeve
Surgeon: Dr. Ratchamon P.
Location: Bangkok, Thailand

The Procedure:

On March 5, 2024, Kael underwent a gastric sleeve procedure performed by Dr. Ratchamon P. at a renowned medical facility Pat Ransit Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand. The surgery involved reducing the size of Kael's stomach, significantly limiting her food intake and promoting weight loss. The operation was successfully completed with no complications, and Kael was closely monitored throughout her recovery.

Post-Operative Progress:

Following the surgery, Kael experienced a remarkable transformation. In just five months, she lost 30 kg, bringing her weight down to 60 kg and reducing her BMI to 23.1. The weight loss led to significant improvements in her health. Her back pain disappeared, and her sleep apnea was resolved, allowing her to sleep soundly without interruptions.

Kael reported that the surgery had a minimal impact on her daily life. She experienced no pain from the surgical wounds, which healed quickly. She was able to walk and perform light activities while still in the hospital, which contributed to a swift recovery. The five small incisions on her abdomen healed rapidly, leaving minimal scarring.

Remote Patient Monitoring:

To ensure continuous support and optimal post-operative care, Kael was enrolled in Taqtik Health's Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) program. This program allowed her to monitor her progress closely, tracking her vital signs, weight, and overall well-being in real-time. Kael appreciated the additional layer of support, saying,

"The Remote Patient Monitoring has been a game-changer for me. Knowing that I can track my own progress and share this with my doctor gives me peace of mind. It’s reassuring to have that level of care, even after leaving the hospital."

Feedback and Outlook:

Reflecting on her experience, Kael shared,

"I underwent this surgery because of my sleep apnea and shortness of breath, and I also had severe back pain. But after losing weight from 90 kg to 60 kg, my back pain disappeared, and my sleep issues are gone. The doctor told me that the first six months after the surgery are the golden period for weight loss, and I might reach my final weight of around 50-55 kg. That’s so amazing."

Kael’s journey demonstrates the life-changing potential of bariatric surgery, especially when combined with a commitment to a healthier lifestyle and the support of advanced tools like Remote Patient Monitoring. Her story highlights the importance of choosing a skilled surgical team and receiving comprehensive care, both of which were provided by Taqtik Health.

Conclusion:

Kael Sangnam's case is a testament to the effectiveness of gastric sleeve surgery in addressing obesity-related health issues and improving overall quality of life. With the support of Taqtik Health, Dr. Ratchamon P., and the RPM program, Kael was able to achieve significant weight loss and experience a dramatic improvement in her health. As she continues her journey, Kael is optimistic about reaching her target weight and maintaining her newfound well-being.
