Preoperative education and informed consent in young adults undergoing bariatric surgery: Patient perspectives on current practice 85 5 A. B . Figure 5.5 Recall of complications of bariatric surgery, that were addressed in the preoperative education. A. ≤30 day-complications; B – >30-day complications The online content and app were used by only a few young adults. More than one-third mentioned that social media should be included, but another one-third mentioned that social media would only give false expectations, good or bad. A substantial part of the patients recommended that a specific SIC process for the age group of young adults be held. Being informed by a person that went through this process as a young adult would be really informative.
