Frequency of at least one episode of moderate/severe hypoxemic event
Postoperative (PO) hypoventilation, atelectasis and hypoxemia after bariatric surgery are
 common and multifactorial, contributing to prolonged oxygen (O2) therapy after surgery and
 even at hospital discharge. Incentive spirometry (IS) is recommended postoperatively but its
 success in preventing postoperative atelectasis and hypoxemia (POH) heavily depends on
 patient compliance with IS effort and frequency. The investigators hypothesize that a focused
 education preoperatively on IS for POH and intensive monitoring of patient compliance with IS
 therapy in the early postoperative period shortens postoperative oxygen therapy, decreases
 POH episodes, and improves respiratory outcomes after bariatric surgery, compared to patients
 receiving standard of care.
