I’ve got to get a loan from the bank to have the band operation. I’ve seen some cheaper deals advertised. Surely if the surgeon knows what he’s doing and they say they’ve got a lot of experience – getting the cheaper surgery has got to be the way to go?
Your Weight Loss Surgery Answer:
The first step for anyone even considering surgery should be a visit to the NIOPPS site in order to check out who is registered and to check out what the minimum standards of after care should be
Of course the Surgeon needs to be experienced in the weight procedure you are considering.
It is vital that you realise that excellent aftercare equals excellent weight loss results.
Poor aftercare equals poor weight loss results and a higher chance of surgical/adverse symptoms.
You are considering a procedure in order to lose weight.
- Ask the provider if they are registered with NIOPPS
- Ask what their published weight loss results are
- Ask to speak to past and current patients
- Do your research – look on the web for feedback from others regarding the provider who you are considering
