Supporting someone through bariatric surgery is a real job. This checklist covers everything from the weeks before surgery through to long-term recovery. Practical, emotional, and everything in between. Tick things off as you go. Your progress saves automatically in your browser.
This checklist covers common caring responsibilities based on standard bariatric recovery protocols. Every patient and carer situation is different. If you have concerns about the patient's recovery, always contact the surgical team or 111 rather than waiting.
