A bariatric surgeon specializes in procedures that help patients lose weight significantly and keep it off, when obesity is affecting health and other treatments haven't been enough.
They typically work as part of a team with nutritionists and, in some cases, psychologists, before and after surgery.
At your first consultation, the surgeon reviews your weight history, previous attempts, related conditions, and eating habits.
They'll often order lab work and, depending on your case, a nutrition or psychology evaluation before deciding on the right procedure.
They'll walk you through the surgical options available, including benefits, risks, and the follow-up care you'll need.
