Nutrition & Wellness Support

Each patient undergoing a bariatric procedure meets with Karen A. Stawiasz, a registered nurse and bariatric coordinator at Sisters Hospital. As a medical professional and an associate member of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery, Karen recognizes the unique needs of the bariatric patient.

Under Karen’s guidance, personnel provide prompt responses and make themselves available for patients’ needs and questions. Massages are also available to treat muscle stiffness and pain.

Before their discharge, patients are counseled regarding diet and exercise to encourage weight loss while maintaining optimum health. Information is also provided about wound care, follow-up appointments and special care instructions.
