Life After bariatric surgery
After your surgery your doctor will provide you with ongoing support and a detailed care plan
After bariatric surgery, regular post-operative follow up visits are important to ensure your complete recovery and a successful outcome. The discharge instructions will have the periodical follow-up visits listed. Your first visit will be scheduled two to four weeks after surgery. You will be required to visit your surgeon regularly – six weeks, three months, six months, nine months and then annually.
Enjoy the life you always wanted
Following bariatric surgery, your eating habits, lifestyle, and energy levels may have changed. To ensure the upkeep of your new figure, it is important for a strict lifelong aftercare plan to be implemented and followed.
