Getting Started

The first step for all patients to enter our program is to attend an informational seminar. In the mean time it is important that you be doing the following:
  1. Contact your insurance company and determine if your plan has a benefit for weight loss surgery.

  2. Call to register for an upcoming weight loss surgery seminar

  3. Gather all weight loss records and documents. Many insurance companies require Documentation of at least six continuous months of a physician supervised weight loss program.

  4. Begin making health food choices and begin to make lifestyle changes such as starting an exercise plan. Any weight that you can lose before surgery is very important.

  5. Familiarize yourself with the program overview.
