After the Surgery - Follow Up


After you return home, it will be important to see your doctor as instructed. It is very important for your doctor to see how you are doing and to check your weight.

Four-Month Bariatric Center Follow up

After about four months, your surgeon will refer you to the Baptist Hospital Bariatric Center Clinic. There you will be medically supervised by a family practice nurse practitioner and a registered dietitian who will work closely with your bariatric surgeon. Your weight loss will be monitored, lab work will be ordered and close attention will be focused on your nutritional status. At Baptist Hospital Bariatric Center, patients are followed for five years; every two months for the first year, every three months the second year, and every six months through the third, fourth and fifth years. All follow up is provided by Baptist Hospital as part of your surgery if your surgery is performed at our hospital. You will be able to receive any information regarding your new lifestyle as well as ask any nutrition questions that may have come up while at home.

B-12 Injections

One month after surgery you will begin receiving B-12 injections. This is a necessary supplement that you will be required to receive for the rest of your life. You may come to the Bariatric office to receive these shots. It will also be necessary for you to take daily vitamin supplements, which you may purchase at any food or drug store.

Support Group

You are encouraged to attend the monthly support group meetings that meet here at Baptist Towers. The support group is for new patients as well as postoperative patients, and meets the second Tuesday of each month in the Medical Meeting Rooms, between the Towers and the Emergency Room. You will find these meetings very beneficial to you while you make the physical and emotional adjustments that come with weight loss. It is comforting to know there are friends that have been where you are now.
