Post Bariatric/ Obesity Surgery Patient Follow-up

We have discussed the importance of Support group and Support group meeting in the last post.This article mainly discusses the importance of follow-up after the Bariatric/Obesity surgery. In Bariatric patient management on the whole, apart from surgery the Pre operative workup as well as follow up are the important. Post operative follow up is at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and at one year. After this regime the patient has to follow once a year. Ensuring the patient to your support group meeting, you ensure that they stay on the tract to healthy living and life style and also get their nutrition at proper and healthy levels. To know the status of their nutrition, the blood investigations are required at specific intervals.
Also,after bariatric surgery, patients tend to form gallstones and might require Gall Bladder removal or Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy for the same. Ultrasonography of abdomen, helps in diagnosing gallstones and should be done annually.
At about two years, we expect the stabilization of patient with respect to weight loss. In superobese patients, the skin tends to loosen up and excess skin hangs. These patient may warrent tummy tuck or abdominoplasty
