Aftercare
After weight loss surgery
If you have had bariatric surgery it is crucial to organise your aftercare. A bariatric procedure should be seen as a tool to help you achieve your weight goals in combination with a healthy lifestyle. As obesity is a life-long disease, the key to long-term succes after a weight loss procedure is to get the right support from the right people. The most important aspects of aftercare will be the medical follow-up, dietary counseling, physical activity and mental coaching. A specialised dietitian should be visited regularly after your operation, even if you feel confident that you are eating and drinking healthy. The Waregem Weight Clinic will advise you what aftercare is important for you. We can provide all aftercare in our clinic, but are also happy to assist you or your doctor to organise aftercare in your home town.
