Bariatric Nutrition

We support and guide each individual and their families on the road of bariatric/ weight loss surgery. Comprehensive nutritional counselling is provided in preparation for the surgery as well as afterwards. Each phase of the special diet followed after surgery is monitored by the dietitian to ensure optimal nutrition status is maintained while promoting weight loss.
