Nutritional Guidelines Before Bariatric Surgery
Before bariatric surgery, it is crucial to follow specific guidelines, which reduce the severity of co-morbidities and reduce operating room and recovery time.
These pre-op bariatric surgery guidelines help to:
- Reduce liver size and intra-abdominal fat
- Improves visual field for your surgeon
- Reduces problems with co-morbidities
- Increases patient’s understanding of post-op requirements
- Reduces operating time
- Reduces post-operative risks
Note
It is essential to communicate first with your nutritionist to see what will be ideal for you.
