Patient Requirements
In order to be considered for weight loss surgery we require the following from you:
- Attendance of the information session (education class)
- Recommended attendance of support groups prior to surgery.
- Initial Consultation with Bariatric Nurse and Surgeon
Please bring the following to your initial visit:
- Your insurance card
- You must ensure that your health insurance coverage includes Weight Loss/Bariatric surgical benefits
- Completed registration/questionnaire package link to document on site
- Insurance referral if your insurance company requires one
At the end of your consultation, you will be scheduled for some of the following appointments:
- An appointment with our nutritionist
- An appointment with a psychologist
- Comprehensive blood testing
- Other specialty evaluation, if needed.
Surgery Scheduling
Depending on your insurance company, the time interval until surgery will vary. Some insurers now require 3-6 months of medically supervised weight loss, which we will assist you with. We strive to make the process as efficient and seamless as possible for you.
