Bariatric Surgery

Bariatric Surgery – Support from a Dietitian before, immediately after and long term after Bariatric Surgery is crucial for both health and maintain weight loss.

Depending on which form of Bariatric Surgery you undergo, there are specific nutrition recommendations to prevent nutrient deficiencies and maintain health. A dietitian can guide you with this, as well as how to eat immediately post-surgery and long term.

There are so many factors that influence what and how we eat including social, emotional, and environmental factors, and this is similar for post Bariatric Surgery.  A dietitian will do a full nutrition assessment including all these factors, medical history, blood tests, medications etc and can provide ongoing support to help you achieve long term success with Bariatric Surgery.
