Emergency Protocol: Nurses must call the surgical team immediately before placing any stomach tube to prevent puncturing the new staple line.
Clot Prevention: Early walking combined with mechanical leg squeeze machines significantly reduces the risk of dangerous blood clots after surgery.
Medication Safety: Gastric bypass changes the digestive tract, which reduces acid and absorption, making some pill forms less effective for patients.
