Patient support

All new accepted patients are invited to watch a pre-recorded information video by the Clinical Nurse Specialist and Specialist Dietitian at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals. It is strongly recommended that this video is carefully viewed as it provides information specific to STH and the journey with our service. Our consultant surgeons have included some important information that is to be considered prior to consultation with them in clinic. Please note that completion of this session and viewing the full information video is mandatory to ensure patients are fully prepared for their surgery and journey afterwards.

Areas covered in the seminar include:

  • Sheffield bariatric surgery care pathway and follow up commitment
  • Gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy and gastric band operation videos
  • Which operation may be better for me?
  • Risk and potential complications post bariatric surgery
  • Post operative bariatric care
  • Dietary and lifestyle after bariatric surgery
  • Psychological and body image considerations
