The project consists of qualitative interviews with all the members of the obesity team (endocrinologist, bariatric surgeon, dietician, psychologist,..) in different Flemish hospitals. These interviews have the aim to gain insight into the current practice about counseling patients with bariatric surgery, with a focus on medication counseling. This will make it possible to assess the strengths and weaknesses in the current practice of obese patients who will undergo and have undergone bariatric surgery.
