Preparing for Bariatric Surgery

You’ve considered your options, consulted your primary care physician, and decided bariatric surgery is right for you. Now it’s time to meet the care team, who will help prepare you for a safe, successful surgery.

Our Multidisciplinary Team

Our care team consists of bariatric surgeons (who have performed thousands of weight loss surgeries), advanced practitioners, certified bariatric nurses, mental health providers, and dietitians. You can feel confident at Wentworth-Douglass, where you’ll be cared for by the best bariatric team on the Seacoast.


Health Screening

To ensure bariatric surgery is the next best step for your health, we’ll start by walking you through various screenings and a full Health and Physical Examination. If another, more pressing health condition is discovered, we’ll prioritize that treatment first.

Preparing Your Mind & Body

Even before surgery, you will work with our team of dietitians to kickstart the eating and exercise habits you'll continue after the operation.
