PROCEDURES METABOLIC SURGERY
Metabolic Risk Assessment
A preparatory assessment covering blood glucose, insulin resistance, lipid profile, liver fat and screening for sleep apnoea. It is what any surgical decision rests on.
How we proceed
- 1
Assessing the current picture through a detailed history, physical examination and laboratory tests.
- 2
Reviewing the eligibility criteria for a metabolic risk assessment together with the surgeon, endocrinologist, dietitian and psychologist.
- 3
If a decision is reached, setting out the preparation period, the procedure and the expected hospital stay in advance.
- 4
Follow-up after discharge with a nutrition plan and a defined schedule of review appointments across the first year.
