Process and Follow-Up Support

To learn more about bariatric surgery, the patient or his physician can call to schedule an appointment with one of our surgeons.

Prior to surgical consideration, individuals must attend a free informational forum offered monthly.
Next, patients meet with surgeon.  An appointment is scheduled with the bariatric nurse coordinator so patients can undergo a preoperative program to determine medical appropriateness for surgery.

The program includes up to six months of diet/nutritional follow-up, exercise and behavioral health evaluations. The appropriate surgical procedure is performed. Our post-surgical regimen includes regular follow-up with a dietitian.  The patient also finds lifelong support through a monthly support group, exercise specialists, a bariatric coordinator and behavioral health counseling.
