NUTRITION IN BARIATRIC SURGERY

Bariatric surgery is a gateway to a new life, and with it, come renovated eating habits. Most of the patients who chose bariatric surgery have a long history of struggle with weight management, so dietary behavior changes have to be made in order to achieve the expected outcome. Fortunately for Mexicali Bariatric Center patients, these changes will be done with proper coaching from Dr. Edgar Campos during the recovery stages.
