Frequently Asked Questions
Your first visit typically includes a comprehensive consultation where we review your health history, discuss your weight loss goals, and explore which options might be the best fit for you.
Bariatric care may be a good option if you've struggled with weight loss through traditional methods. Generally, candidates have a BMI of 40+, or 35+ with weight-related health conditions such as diabetes, sleep apnea, or high blood pressure.
Surgical options like gastric bypass and duodenal switch permanently alter the digestive system for significant weight loss. Non-surgical options include intragastric balloons, FDA-approved medications, and medically supervised programs that don't require an operation.
In many cases, you don't need a referral to schedule a consultation. However, some insurance plans may require one. Our team can help you check your specific coverage requirements.
Most patients complete a 3-6 month supervised program before surgery, which includes nutritional counseling, psychological evaluation, and any required medical clearances. The timeline can vary based on your insurance requirements and individual health needs.
Yes. You'll work with our registered dietitians to adopt healthier eating habits before your procedure. Most patients follow a specific pre-operative diet for 2-4 weeks before surgery to reduce liver size and improve surgical outcomes.
