FAQ's Related to Bariatric Surgeon

The Bariatric Surgeons provide assistance to patients in losing weight and in avoiding to gain back the excess weight. Here is a list of some additional positives of weight loss procedures other than being a solution for obesity.:

• Long-term remission for type 2 diabetes • Improved cardiovascular health • Better mental health • Remove sleep apnea • Joint pain relief • Improved fertility

It is the prerogative of the surgeon to choose the kind of procedure to help lose weight, by reducing intake of food, reducing how much nutrients the body is absorbing or the one which uses both techniques together. Prescribing medicines and tests as well as recommending dietary and lifestyle changes post the procedures is all the responsibility of Bariatric surgeon.

When you are consulting a Bariatric Surgeon, kindly get these tests done before and during the consultation as per the surgeons' recommendation.:

  • Cardiac echo – hx of phen-fen or long-standing sleep apnea or cardiac risk screen
  • HgbA1C (if known diabetic)
  • Lipid panel
  • Folate, thiamine
  • CBC
  • CXR
  • Complete metabolic panel including calcium and liver function tests
  • B12
  • Thyroid function tests
  • EKG
  • Stress test
  • Fe Panel
  • Blood work
  • Homocysteine, C-Reactive protein, lipoprotein a – to assess cardiac risk factors

The importance of these tests cannot be underlined enough because the treatment process is based on them. Any persons physiological status can be gauged by the urine and blood tests which are recommended by the Bariatric Surgeon quite often. It is tests such as Pulmonary function testing, Echocardiogram and Cardiology evaluation that are useful in presenting a truthful picture of how well the heart and the respiratory system is functioning.

It is wise to consider consulting with a Bariatric Surgeon when all the medical and alternative treatment methods have not yielded you the best results. You should also be someone whose weight and health parameters are right in place as eligibility for this procedure. It is also for pre operative consultation and post operative rehabilitation that you can consult the surgeon.
