The Adobe Acrobat files below are taken directly from the "Blue Book" that all bariatric patients at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth are given at their orientation. Prior to joining The Surgical Care Group, I served on active duty in the Navy and was one of four bariatric surgeons in practice at that hospital. I find these instructions easy to follow and very useful for patients both before and after surgery.
You may download these files and print them or keep them handy in electronic format so that you can take them with you or share them with others interested in bariatric surgery.
