The most important thing for a patient considering weight loss surgery is to EDUCATE themselves about weight loss surgery.  A well performed operation is only part of it.  The other part is knowing what to do with the operation or better put, how to use the “TOOL” that has been given you.  A very good first step is to attend a weight loss surgery informational seminar.  Until you are able to attend a seminar we recommend starting with the Preparatory Surgery Guide.  A lot of information is provided in this guide addressing many concerns that patients face before, during and after their surgery, as well as the dietary and potential emotional changes that they will experience.

The Preparatory Guide requires Adobe Acrobat Reader software, which most likely is already installed on your computer.
