Before bariatric surgery it is important to get consultations and evaluations from a variety of health care professionals such as doctors, nutritionists, and pharmacists. Before the actual surgery date make sure you've purchased the supplies you'll need for recovery. Take all your medications as prescribed. Also, try to arrange to have a friend available for a few days following your surgery to help you out. Make sure to inform your doctor if you get sick within 48 hours of the surgery. Try to arrange to be part of a support group for after surgery. For more information, go to: http://www.yourbariatricsurgeryguide.com/surgery-before/
