•Goal
of every bariatric procedure is to assist in
reducing daily calorie intake

Every
potential patient should understand having Weight
Loss Surgery, is a life-altering event and the
decision to have the surgery should not be taken
lightly. We encourage our patients to
ask questions, so they understand completely the
process of the changes, and how it will affect the
rest of their lives. It should in no way be
considered cosmetic in nature, and there should be a
great deal of willingness on the part of the patient
to change their lifestyle. Surgery
is only a “tool” to help reach your goal.
Every one
patient is an individual. The choice of
which type of surgery is the right choice for you
should be discussed with your surgeon.
We
encourage all our patients to attend support group
meetings, meet and interact with our patients who
have already gone through this life-altering
experience, ask questions and feel comfortable with
the decision on which surgery is the best tool for
them.
