Open and Laparoscopic
•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.
