Patient Education Resources

Your relationship with patients begins the moment they seek information and continues long after surgery.

Patients contemplating bariatric surgery are embarking on a journey that requires careful thought and considerable preparation. Our breadth of materials is designed to serve them well at each stage of the decision making process – and beyond.

Patient resources include:

  • www.REALIZE.com – a breadth of information on all bariatric surgical procedures including procedural illustrations, benefits and risks, patient testimonials and a seminar finder.
  • Education materials that provide details on all bariatric procedures to help patients make an informed decision.

Contact your local Ethicon sales representative for more information regarding these materials.
