IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU MUST KNOW

A Bariatric Surgery is not a cosmetic surgery and it shouldn’t be considered as one treatment option until there is evidence that other traditional treatments tested by the patient were not effective.
Like in all surgical procedures the patients are exposed to bleeding and infections, that’s why the patients must follow up all the pre op and post up care guidelines
No surgery can be performed if the patient doesn’t follow up the pre op indications and diet, also if any of the following contraindications exist the surgery is not an option: alcoholism, cancer, cirrhosis, pregnancy, drug addiction, mental health impairment.
The surgery is not a miracle, it should be considered as a medical treatment that barely achieves 50% of the patient’s life improvement and the other 50% to regain the patients health and lifestyle it’s the patient’s responsibility along with the commitment of creating new eating habits.
