If you're seriously considering weight loss surgery, follow these tips to help ensure you get the best care:
- Find a facility that does at least 150 procedures a year—these hospitals have much lower complication rates than those that do fewer surgeries.
- Be sure there's an entire support team—both pre-op (to minimize complications) and post-op (to give you the best chance for success). A nutritionist and psychiatrist should be part of the team.
- Choose a hospital certified by the American Society for Bariatric Surgery.
