Bariatric (Weight Loss) Surgery

Bariatric Nursing Services - Tauranga

Chloe McCormick, Registered Nurse

As part of your care team, I provide dedicated nursing support throughout your weight loss surgery journey.

My role is to support you through each stage of the process, from preparation for surgery through to your recovery. This includes providing clear guidance, practical education, and ongoing support to help you feel informed and well prepared.

I work closely with your surgeon and the wider multidisciplinary team (MDT), including a dietitian and a psychologist, to ensure your care is coordinated and aligned across all aspects of your treatment.

Your Care

Support is provided before and after surgery, with a focus on ensuring you understand what to expect and feel supported through your journey.

Following referral, I will contact you to introduce the service and outline how I will be involved in your care. Ongoing support is available via phone and email during this time.

Please note this is not an urgent care service. For urgent concerns, please contact your surgeon, GP, or after-hours medical services.

Your Journey

You will be contacted at key points throughout your surgical journey, including during your preparation for surgery and your post-operative recovery.

After our initial discussion, you will receive a clear outline of ongoing support and the expected points of contact.

After Surgery

Following surgery, I provide guidance and support with:

  • Nutrition
  • Medications
  • Vitamin and mineral supplementation
  • Bowel management
  • Wound care

Ongoing support is provided to assist your recovery and help you adapt to the changes following surgery.
