What is involved in bariatric surgery in terms of Tier 4 management? So once a patient is referred by their GT for bariatric surgery, they have to first undergo a Tier 3 program and then they can move on to the Tier 4 with asbestos weight loss surgical treatment. This will usually involve review by different members of the weight loss surgery team, including the surgeon, an anesthetist, a psychologist or psychiatrist, dieticians, and often a nurse specialist as well. These individuals then get together in what we call a multi-decision routine, and then the decision is made whether to go ahead and offer the patient surgery or other treatments.
