Pre-operative patient care
Typical recommendations for pre-operative care may include, but are not limited to, any of the following:
- Upon entrance to a bariatric surgery program and before proceeding with surgery, patients are generally encouraged to participate in a multidisciplinary program with dietary and lifestyle modifications. This is intended to help ensure the patient is prepared for the necessary behavioral changes for long-term success.
- Based on patients' comorbid conditions, the preoperative evaluation can also involve consultations from a variety of specialists. Often consultants such as cardiologists, pulmonologists and psychologists are a routine part of the workup process.
