Soon there must be at least three months between the first consultation about gastric reduction and the effective operation. The National Institute for Sickness and Disability Insurance (RIZIV) has decided to prevent hasty stomach operations. An estimated 14,000 obese Belgians go under the knife for this every year. And that for a fairly expensive procedure that is only reimbursed under certain conditions. Surgeon Anthony Beunis (UZA) explains exactly what a stomach reduction entails and what you can eat afterwards. “Your stomach goes from the size of an eggplant to that of a kiwi.”
