Effect of Milk-free Diet on Weight and Irritable Bowel Syndrome in Morbid Obesity
ObesityMorbidInnlandet Hospital in Gjøvik is a center for patients suffering from morbid obesity in Hedmark og Oppland, Norway. Patients with either BMI > 40 kg/m2 or with BMI > 35 kg/m2 and complications who opt for "gastric bypass" surgery, go through a standard program including a thorough clinical examination and information on the operation, followed by a learning and coping program that consists of standard dietary advise for weight loss and includes weekly visits during 8 weeks.
