Abstract
Morbid obesity is defined as having a body mass index (BMI) above 40 or having a BMI of 35 and comorbidities along with obesity. Post-bariatric surgery care should include a multidisciplinary team consisting of a surgeon, an endocrinologist, a psychiatrist, a dietitian, and a nurse specializing in bariatric surgery. Close observation, careful and complete evaluation are important in the specialist nursing care of bariatric surgery patients. In bariatric surgery, patients are provided with routine post-operative nursing care such as oxygen and hemodynamic monitoring, pain management, mobilization, wound care, deep vein thrombosis prophylaxis, early and frequent ambulation, drain care, fluid balance nutrition, training, and emotional support.
