Dietitians provide an essential role in the bariatric journey, starting prior to surgery and continuing lifelong. The dietitian’s role is to help you prepare for surgery, direct you through the initial post-surgery diet phases, promote long term desired weight loss, avoid complications, and liaise regularly with your surgeon and health care team.
Research shows that those who see a dietitian after having bariatric surgery are:
More likely to achieve their weight loss goal
Less likely to regain weight
Less likely to experience unwanted side effects or complications
As such, we offer patients of the clinic who are going through bariatric surgery a special package that offers additional support, resources and accountability to provide you the best foundation for success on your new journey.
The Bariatric Starter Package includes:
Total of 6 dietetic appointments starting prior to surgery all the way until you commence back onto solid foods and beyond
