Which
one
is
right
for
you?
The
most
important
step
before
you
choose
which
weight
loss
surgery
procedure
is
for
you
is
getting
all
of
the
information
you
need
about
your
surgical
options.
Ultimately
your
bariatric
surgeon
and
other
physicians
are
your
best
resource
for
information
about
the
procedure
they
will
recommend
to
you
for
weight
loss.
When
you
ask a
question,
make
sure
you
understand
the
answer.
Don't
hesitate
to
ask
for a
more
detailed
explanation
given
in
simpler
language.
The
decision
to
have
bariatric
surgery
may
take
one
more
than
one
visit
to
their
office
and
consultations
with
more
than
one
surgeon.
Ask
your
bariatric
doctor
for
names
of
other
patients
who
have
had
similar
weight
loss
surgeries
and
who
are
willing
to
discuss
their
experiences,
good
and
bad,
with
you.
You
may
choose
to
research
weight
loss
surgery
on
your
own
through
the
internet.
As
with
any
search
for
medical
information,
be
sure
that
your
sources
are
responsible,
recognized
experts
in
the
field
you
are
investigating.
Although
results
of
weight
loss
surgery
procedures
can
be
drastic,
there
are
potential
risks
and
complications.
Before
making
your
decision,
make
sure
you
are
well
informed.
This
is
necessary
if
you
are
to
give
"informed
consent"
for
the
surgical
procedure.
Informed
consent
is a
legal
term
meaning
that
a
patient
agrees
that
they
have
received
and
understood
enough
information
about
a
procedure's
benefits
and
risks
to
allow
them
to
make
a
decision
that
is
right
for
them.
Your
bariatric
surgeon
will
require
you
to
sign
a
consent
form
before
performing
your
surgical
procedure.
Before
you
sign
the
form,
you
should
have
a
solid
understanding
of
what
is
about
to
happen.
You
should
know
what
you
would
need
to do
to
live
well
after
the
operation.
And
you
should
be
aware
of
the
signs
or
symptoms
of
complications
to
look
for
which
may
occur
after
your
weight
loss
surgery.
