Abstract

Dear Editor,

I would like to express my appreciation for the thorough review of research (1) in revising the complications of bariatric surgery and its impact on patients’ health. This impressive review opened the gate for additional concerns regarding the perceptions of healthcare providers towards patient experience before the bariatric surgery. Patient perceptions towards benefits and risks of surgery based on the patients’ understanding of the information from their healthcare providers’ support for the surgeon’s decisions and how that could happen or be explained to the patient. In other words, what about the challenging decisions patients face before surgery and their expectations for a suitable quality of life after performing it, which is the patient’s experience in two pre- and post-operation stages? Patient and family education plays a significant role (2); however, the overall experience from both sides (the patient and his healthcare providers) needs additional exploration with the light of their healthcare providers.
