Having a competent bariatric nurse by one's bedside both before and after the operation can help a person's mental wellness during the entire process. A skilled nurse should know the precise details about the surgery and answer the patient's questions if he or she should have any prior to going through the procedure. Even more, a good bariatric nurse will know how to take care of the patient after the surgery and help that individual with pain management and other recuperative matters to help that patient recover quicker.
