Dietitians or nutritionists help people get fit by making sure they have all the nutrients in their bodies to keep them healthy. Dr. Choi shares his insights about when to see a dietitian before or after a scheduled bariatric surgery.
How Soon Should I See a Dietitian After Bariatric Surgery?
How many times should I see a dietitian? I think it’s a great idea to see a dietitian before and after your procedure because he or she will help you keep your calorie count intact. We would like to see them at least 6 to 8 weeks after the surgery, and then as you start getting and reaching goals, you can see them less and less. What I mean by that is because by the time you lose more weight and now you learn how to eat, you become less reliant on your nutritionist or dietitian.
