Note From Dr Lockie
Medications will be assessed pre-operatively and post-operatively. With weight-loss and particularly after surgery, comorbidities can change for the better, particularly e.g., hypertension or diabetes. It is essential for your health that medications are discussed with you, your GP and/or any other specialists such as Cardiologist or Endocrinologist etc.
In addition, use of multivitamins, and alternative supplements should be discussed with the practice to promote your better health.
