Preparation for your weight loss surgery - 5. The day of your procedure
1. You will receive a list of discharge instructions, as well as medication instructions.
2. You will receive emergency contact information.
3. Be certain to have someone stay with you for the amount of time that your surgeon recommends.
Please Note
These lists do not replace the advice of a qualified bariatric surgeon. But they can serve as reminders about what to ask your surgeon and how to be better prepared for your weight loss surgery. Taking the time to prepare for bariatric surgery can reduce your risk of complications, as well as make your recovery more comfortable and stress-free.
