* Choose only certified clinics and make sure the surgeon has good reputation and experience.
* Get as much information as you can from the surgeon, the clinic, and the internet. Know the risks and if it's right for you.
* Be honest. Make sure you tell the surgeon everything about your health condition and also tell him if you smoke and take any pills, including: vitamins, medications, or drugs.
* It is possible to have liposuction at the same surgery, make sure you tell the surgeon about your expectations, so he will offer the best surgery for your condition.
* Don't smoke at least two weeks before and after the surgery.
* Don't over diet, eat healthy, and don't expose your stomach to the sun so the healing process will go well.
* Make sure someone comes with you to take you back home after the stomach surgery and also try to have someone help you at home a few days after the surgery.
* Pills will be given to take care of the discomfort you will experience after the stomach surgery. The stomach will be swollen and there might be pain.
* It is important to start walking as soon as possible; it will help the healing process.
