Once cleared for surgery, we'll schedule your procedure at our accredited surgical facility. The surgery itself typically takes one to two hours depending on the procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Average weight loss ranges from 50-70% of excess body weight within 18 months. Individual results vary based on surgery type, adherence to post-operative guidelines, and starting weight. Most patients see significant results within the first year.

Is weight loss surgery covered by insurance?

Most major insurance carriers cover bariatric surgery if you meet medical necessity criteria. We'll verify your coverage and help with the authorization process. Self-pay options and financing are available for uninsured patients.

What's the recovery time?

Most patients return to light activities within 2-3 weeks and resume normal activities within 6 weeks. Full recovery varies by procedure type, with gastric sleeve being the quickest recovery. You'll have specific restrictions you need to follow during recovery.

Will I need plastic surgery after weight loss?

Significant weight loss may result in excess skin, but this isn't addressed during bariatric surgery. Some patients choose cosmetic procedures like body contouring after reaching their goal weight. This is a personal decision and not medically necessary.

Can the surgery be reversed?

Gastric sleeve and bypass are generally permanent procedures, though gastric bypass reversal is possible in rare cases. Lap-band surgery is fully reversible. We'll discuss permanence during your consultation to ensure you're comfortable with your choice.

What vitamins will I need after surgery?

You'll need lifelong vitamin supplementation including B12, iron, calcium, and multivitamins. Requirements vary by procedure type and individual absorption. We provide detailed supplementation protocols and monitor your levels regularly.

How soon can I return to work?

Most desk job workers return within 1-2 weeks, while those with physical jobs may need 4-6 weeks. Recovery depends on the procedure type and how you're feeling. We'll provide specific recommendations based on your job demands.

Will I be able to eat normally again?

You'll eat smaller portions but can eventually eat a variety of foods. Certain foods may cause discomfort or dumping syndrome. We'll provide detailed dietary guidelines and work with you to find satisfying foods that work for your new stomach.
