Bariatric Surgeon


If you are thinking of having bariatric weight loss surgery whether its the gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, lapband or others, it's essential to find a good bariatric surgeon that you feel comfortable with to discuss having the surgery. Ideally before you get to this point you have done your research and learnt what you need to know about the procedure and what it involves before and after surgery and in the long-term. This is an essential step as deciding to have bariatric surgery is a big and life changing decision and it's important to be be well informed. When doing your research make a big list of questions that you want to find answers to and take this in to your first appointment with your surgeon.
