• Follow-up is scheduled at regular intervals after surgery to assess your weight loss, change in comorbid conditions, ability to advance and tolerate your diet, to provide continued psychological support, and to provide continued nutritional counseling. • Lab work is required at specific intervals following surgery due to the potential for malabsorption and nutritional deficiencies.
