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.
