Healthy Eating and Gastric Bypass Surgery

Take this special class before your surgery

Healthy EatingEating right is important to your success after gastric bypass surgery. Our registered dietitians have partnered with a bariatric surgeon and surgical nurse to teach you about nutrition.

Our hour and a half class takes place before your surgery and will prepare you and your family for realistic expectations. A registered dietitian will talk about a post-op eating plan, including shopping lists and vitamin and mineral supplements. A registered nurse will provide information about your hospital stay and surgical experience, and a gastric bypass patient will share an overview of the patient experience.
