An MDT or multidisciplinary team approach in weight loss surgery really means that you will be assessed not just by the surgeon doctor doing the operation, but also have assessments with, for example, a psychologist, a dietitian, the anesthetist or a nurse practitioner in the run-up to a surgery. The various team members will then have a meeting and then discuss the pros and cons of surgery in your particular situation and then offer you the operation.
