After bariatric surgery positioning the patient in the fowler's position in the bed best promotes comfort and emptying of the stomach.
A bariatric surgery, which includes gastric bypass and other weight-loss treatments, involves making changes to your digestive system. It is performed when diet and exercise have failed or when you are having serious health problems as a result of your weight. The Fowler's position is obtained by flexing or straightening the knees while supine and raising the backrest of a bed. Following gastric surgery, placing the patient in a Fowler's position enhances comfort and speeds up stomach emptying. For this sort of patient, it is not advised to lie down in any position because it will delay stomach emptying. This objective is not attained by supine placement or the left lateral (left Sim's) position.
