What to Expect
Your journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation where our medical team assesses your health status, weight loss history, and goals to determine the most appropriate treatment approach. For medical weight loss, we start with metabolic testing and medication trials with frequent follow-ups. Surgical candidates undergo extensive evaluation including medical clearance, nutritional assessment, and psychological evaluation to ensure readiness and optimize outcomes.
Post-treatment care is equally comprehensive. Medical weight loss patients have monthly follow-ups with medication adjustments as needed. Surgical patients follow a structured program with visits at specific intervals post-operatively, nutritional counseling, and long-term monitoring. Our team coordinates all aspects of care and provides 24/7 support for any concerns or complications.
Why Choose Pivot Weight Loss
Pivot Weight Loss stands out by offering the complete spectrum of weight loss treatments from one integrated team. Whether you need medical management or surgical intervention, you won't need to start over with new providers or re-explain your history. Our surgical team's experience with complex cases and revisional procedures provides confidence for patients with challenging situations.
Our comprehensive approach means we can adapt your treatment plan as your needs change. Many patients start with medical management and transition to surgical options if needed, or combine approaches for optimal results. Our long-term commitment to patient success, evidenced by our structured follow-up programs and ongoing support, sets us apart from clinics that provide treatment without comprehensive aftercare.
Insurance & Pricing
Most major insurance plans cover bariatric surgery when medical criteria are met, and we have dedicated staff to help navigate insurance approval processes. Medical weight loss coverage varies by plan, and we'll verify benefits before starting treatment. Self-pay options are available with transparent pricing. Surgical procedures typically range from $15,000-25,000 for self-pay patients, while medical weight loss programs range from $200-500 monthly. We offer financing options and payment plans to make treatment accessible.
First-Time Patient Tips
Come prepared with a complete medical history, list of current medications, and any previous weight loss attempts or surgeries. For surgical consultations, bring insurance information and be prepared to discuss your commitment to lifestyle changes. Realistic expectations are crucial - both medical and surgical weight loss require ongoing effort and lifestyle modifications for success.
Be honest about your eating habits, exercise capabilities, and support system at home. Successful weight loss, especially surgical, requires significant lifestyle changes that affect your entire family. Consider attending one of our educational seminars before your consultation to better understand your options. Remember that this is a long-term partnership, and our team is here to support you throughout your entire journey.
