Read the surgical leader pageThe gaps between appointments are where patients get lost.
Patients move through clearances, education, preparation, diet-phase progression, symptom monitoring and long-term follow-up — often held together by one-time classes, printed materials and manual outreach.
Education fades
Patients receive a large amount of information before surgery, then need to recall it weeks or months later.
Routine work compounds
Routine post-op questions, reminders and status checks increase coordinator workload and pull time from complex patients.
Concerns arrive together
Scheduling questions, message burden and clinically important symptoms often enter the same inbox, phone line or portal queue.
Patients disengage
Missed appointments, unanswered outreach and unclear next steps can create bariatric patient leakage across a long care pathway.
Recovery is not linear
Hydration, protein intake, vitamins, nausea, pain, diet tolerance and emotional adjustment can change quickly.
Long-term follow-up drops
Engagement needs continue after early recovery, even as the program's scheduled touchpoints become less frequent.
"Manual bariatric follow-up shouldn't require your team to repeat every instruction before discovering which patients need help."
Keep the next step clear for patients — and the next priority clear for your team.
Waivs is bariatric care coordination software built around your program's protocols. It reinforces education, prompts automated post-op check-ins, tracks patient-reported symptoms and surfaces program-defined concerns for care team escalation.
Educate and answer
Reinforce program-approved instructions and patient support between visits without making every interaction a manual task.
Check in and surface
Collect structured updates on readiness, diet phase, hydration, protein, vitamins and activity; highlight program-defined concerns.
Guide and prioritize
Prompt patients toward the next milestone and create clinical visibility between visits so coordinators see who needs outreach.

Program entry, eligibility & multidisciplinary evaluation
Appointments, clearances, nutrition, behavioural health, expectations, preoperative patient education and sustained engagement across a long pathway.
Welcome sequence; milestone reminders; approved education; automated pre-op checklists; unanswered-question capture; missed-step or disengagement prompts.
Turn preoperative patient education into a guided process — not a stack of instructions.
The bariatric preoperative period can stretch across months and involve multiple disciplines. Waivs keeps required steps visible while supporting education, checklists and patient support between visits.
Program onboarding
Welcome patients, explain the care pathway and set expectations for appointments, clearances and education.
Education reinforcement
Repeat procedure, nutrition, vitamin, activity and recovery information after the formal class or visit.
Readiness check-ins
Prompt patients to confirm required steps, identify barriers, and support pre-op leakage prevention.
Prehabilitation support
Reinforce program-approved activity or exercise plans intended to build functional readiness.
Liver shrinking diet
Guide the program's pre-op diet window with reminders, check-ins and clear escalation when adherence is difficult.
Final preparation
Deliver medication, fasting, arrival, transportation and day-of-surgery reminders from one approved workflow.
Make recovery guidance available when the question happens.
After discharge, patients manage diet progression, hydration, protein, vitamins, medications, activity, appointments and symptoms at home. Waivs supports continuity without requiring every interaction to begin with a phone call.
Diet phase progression
Guide progression through liquid, puréed, soft and regular-food transitions according to the program's pathway.
Hydration and protein
Reminders and check-ins to reinforce hydration and protein intake, and identify poor tolerance or intake.
Vitamin adherence
Repeat supplementation education and prompt patients to report barriers or missed routines.
Symptom check-ins
Collect patient-reported symptoms including pain, nausea, vomiting, wound and breathing concerns.
Appointment continuity
Remind patients about follow-up appointments, labs and program milestones; re-engage after a missed step.
Escalation support
Surface protocol-defined concerns so the care team decides who requires outreach, assessment or urgent direction.
Your program remains in control.
