There are many things a person can do to help themselves prepare before bariatric surgery. Before having the surgery performed, it is important that the patient fully understands what the surgery entails and the potential risks and complications that are involved. A consultation with a board certified physician can help a patient feel more prepared and be more knowledgeable about the surgery.
Usually before a patient undergoes bariatric surgery, their doctor recommends that they start to eat a healthy diet and engage in an exercise program. If the patient is a smoker, it is also in their best interests to quit smoking at least a month before the procedure, which will lessen the risk of any complications during and after the surgery.
