# of patients per bariatric dietitian?

[Guest guest]

Our program is growing very quickly, and we are currently looking at the # of patients per dietitian ratio. I'm feeling very overwhelmed by the number of pts our program is seeing, and just curious to the average # of patients per bariatric dietitian of other bariatric programs. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!! Also, how many NEW patients (pre-op nutrition evaluations) and POST--OP follow-up patients per week are most bariatric dietitians seeing? How often/# of visits are patients seen pre-op AND post-op by the dietitian? THANKS in advance for your feedback.
