What is the MDT approach in the field of bariatrics and weight loss? If you are considering weight loss surgery, it is important to make sure that your unit that you're seeing uses a multidisciplinary team or MDT approach. So this means that you are assessed not just by the surgeon who will be doing the procedure, but also by other healthcare professionals, for example, a dietician and a psychologist, to make sure that you have a clear pathway for your journey, that there are no contraindications from a mental health perspective and also that you clearly understand what dietary changes will occur once you've had surgery.
