Bariatric Surgery Service Seminar
All new accepted patients are invited to attend a mandatory two hour nurse and dietitian bariatric surgery seminar. Attendees are provided with both written and verbal bariatric surgery information. This seminar has been shown to be a highly effective way of appropriately educating patients about bariatric surgery and the Sheffield service.
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
