How Our Program Works
Self-pay patients will follow these steps on their way to bariatric surgery. For many of our patients, the time between their initial consultation and the date of their weight loss surgery is as little as two weeks.
- Consultation Appointment During your virtual consultation appointment, you’ll meet one-on-one with a bariatric surgeon who will review your medical history, explain your options, and answer any questions. If bariatric surgery is right for you, our team will help you plan your next steps.
- Lab Work We will let you know which tests are needed for surgical clearance, some of which can be completed with your local doctor before you travel.
- Psychological Evaluation This step ensures you are ready for surgery and post-surgical life changes.
Once these steps have been completed and you are cleared for surgery, you will begin a pre-op diet with support from our dietitian. We will work with you to schedule your surgery at your earliest convenience; many patients are able to have surgery within one week of completing their prerequisites.
