Research has shown that one of the most important factors in successful outcomes following surgery is follow up. This is vital for both band and sleeve patients.
Importance of Follow Up After Bariatric Surgery
The whole team at Mercy Bariatrics is involved with this. At each visit there are important assessments to be made. Often it is a time to review your current medications and see if you are ready to have these reduced. This is how we make sure that you are going to get the best results from your surgery.
