With obesity levels continuing to rise despite efforts in diet,
exercise, and medical management, the focus has now turned to
surgery to help combat the obesity epidemic. The operation is just
the beginning, and there can be many different complications and
side effects associated with weight loss surgery. Bariatric
Surgery: What Every Provider Needs to Know takes a
multidisciplinary team approach to maximize the patient's weight
loss and to minimize complications, from patient selection to
postoperative care. This book was written for any healthcare
providers or students involved with bariatric surgical patients to
provide them with the important information needed to manage their
patient. Drs. R. Armour Forse and Caroline M. Apovian and more than
50 contributors have designed Bariatric Surgery: What Every
Provider Needs to Know to provide practical information for
non-surgeons and non-nutrition experts who are involved in the care
of a patient undergoing bariatric surgery and makes the concepts
easy to understand and to apply when caring for a patient with
obesity. Bariatric Surgery: What Every Provider Needs to Know
covers the fundamental issues that need to be addressed with the
overall care of the surgical patient for a multidisciplinary team,
including nurse practitioners, physician assistants,
gastroenterology residents, dieticians, and medical students. Some
topics covered include: Adolescent obesity and weight loss surgery
