Our program covers the following topics to help you decide if weight loss surgery is right for you:

  • How much can I lose, and how weight loss can help improve weight-related conditions
  • Do I qualify for surgery and the patient evaluation process
  • Learn about the different types of weight loss surgery, and the benefits and risks for each
  • How surgery can change your life, and what to expect before, during and after the surgery
  • How to obtain insurance approval and how to navigate the process
  • Meet the surgeons, the bariatric coordinator and the dieticians

In addition to the surgeons, you will have access to specialists and services from the Diabetes and Nutrition Department, the Sleep Disorders Center, Cardiology, Pulmonology, Gastroenterology, Behavioral Health and Rehabilitation. Each of these departments coordinates with our weight loss program to ensure that your needs are met before and after surgery.
