Details.
Dietitian support before and after bariatric surgery, including nutrition assessment, guidance on a Very Low-Calorie Diet before surgery, and staged dietary support after surgery through liquid-only, pureed and soft food textures over four to six weeks. Patients generally attend two pre-operative appointments, followed by consultations at six weeks, six months and twelve months post-surgery, with additional appointments available for ongoing support and monitoring. Lifelong bariatric multivitamin adherence and nutrient monitoring are also addressed.
