What to Expect

For surgical candidates, the process begins with comprehensive medical evaluation including cardiac clearance, nutritional assessment, and psychological evaluation to determine surgical eligibility and optimal procedure selection. Pre-operative preparation includes extensive education about dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, and what to expect during recovery. Surgery is followed by structured follow-up appointments for monitoring healing, nutritional status, and weight loss progress.

Non-surgical patients begin with medical evaluation to rule out underlying conditions that might affect weight loss and determine the most appropriate intervention level. Treatment plans typically include prescription medications when appropriate, structured nutrition plans, and regular monitoring appointments. Both surgical and non-surgical patients have access to ongoing support services including nutritional counseling, support groups, and medical monitoring to ensure long-term success and address any complications or challenges that arise.

Eviva's comprehensive approach means you have access to the full spectrum of weight loss interventions under one roof, from conservative medical management to advanced surgical procedures. Our multidisciplinary team approach ensures that all aspects of your health and weight loss needs are addressed by specialists working together on your behalf. This coordination is particularly valuable for complex cases requiring both surgical expertise and ongoing medical management.

Our experience with both surgical and non-surgical weight loss gives us unique insight into matching patients with the most appropriate treatment for their individual situation. We don't push surgery on patients who might succeed with medical management, nor do we avoid surgical recommendations when they're the most effective option. This balanced, individualized approach helps ensure you receive the treatment most likely to help you achieve and maintain your weight loss goals successfully.

Insurance & Pricing

Many insurance plans cover bariatric surgery when medical criteria are met, typically requiring BMI over 40 or over 35 with significant comorbidities. We work with most major insurance providers and have dedicated staff to help navigate pre-authorization requirements and coverage details. Non-surgical medical weight loss services may be covered when medically necessary. Out-of-pocket costs for surgical procedures typically range from $15,000-25,000, while medical weight loss programs range from $200-500 monthly depending on the complexity of treatment required.

First-Time Patient Tips

Success with our programs requires significant commitment to lifestyle changes, whether you're pursuing surgical or non-surgical options. Surgical patients must be prepared for permanent dietary modifications, including eating smaller portions, chewing thoroughly, and avoiding certain foods that can cause complications. Pre-operative preparation includes several months of education and evaluation, so patience with the process is important.

Non-surgical patients should expect to make substantial changes to eating habits and may need to take prescription medications with potential side effects. Regular attendance at appointments is crucial for monitoring progress and making necessary adjustments. Both surgical and non-surgical patients benefit greatly from participation in support groups and ongoing nutritional counseling. The most successful patients are those who view weight loss as a long-term lifestyle change rather than a temporary intervention.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I'm a candidate for weight loss surgery?

Generally, patients with BMI over 40, or over 35 with serious health conditions like diabetes or sleep apnea, may be candidates. We conduct comprehensive evaluation including medical, nutritional, and psychological assessment to determine eligibility.

What's the difference between gastric sleeve and gastric bypass surgery?

Gastric sleeve removes part of the stomach, while bypass reroutes the digestive system. Both are effective, but bypass typically results in more weight loss while sleeve has fewer nutritional complications. We'll help determine which is best for you.

How long is the recovery period after bariatric surgery?

Most patients return to work within 2-3 weeks and resume normal activities within 4-6 weeks. Full dietary progression takes about 3 months, with ongoing lifestyle adjustments continuing indefinitely.

Can I try non-surgical options first before considering surgery?

Absolutely, we often recommend medical weight loss as a first step unless surgery is immediately necessary for health reasons. Many patients achieve success with non-surgical approaches, while others use it as preparation for surgery.

What kind of ongoing support do you provide after surgery or treatment?

We provide lifelong follow-up including regular appointments, nutritional counseling, support groups, and medical monitoring. Our commitment to your success extends well beyond the initial treatment period.

Will my insurance cover weight loss surgery?

Many insurance plans cover bariatric surgery when medical criteria are met. We have dedicated staff to help with pre-authorization and will verify your coverage before proceeding with treatment planning.

What happens if I don't lose enough weight or regain weight after surgery?

We provide ongoing support to optimize your results, including nutritional counseling, medical evaluation, and if necessary, revision procedures. Early intervention for weight regain is often very successful.

Are there any foods I'll never be able to eat again after surgery?

While you can eventually eat most foods in small portions, some items like carbonated beverages, tough meats, or high-sugar foods may cause discomfort or complications. We'll provide detailed dietary guidance for long-term success.
