Bariatric Surgery Consultation: Your First Step Toward a Healthier Life

What is it?

A bariatric surgery consultation is the initial step in evaluating whether weight-loss surgery is the right option for you. This comprehensive evaluation helps identify the most suitable procedure based on your medical history, lifestyle, and weight-loss goals. Bariatric surgery is a transformative solution for individuals struggling with severe obesity and related health issues like diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea.

What to Expect During Your Consultation:

  1. Detailed Medical History Review
    We assess your overall health, existing medical conditions, weight history, and previous weight-loss efforts to determine your eligibility for bariatric surgery.

  2. Body Mass Index (BMI) Evaluation
    Your BMI is a key factor in assessing your candidacy for surgery. Generally, patients with a BMI of 40 or higher (or 35 with obesity-related health issues) are considered for surgical options.

A bariatric surgery consultation is the first crucial step toward addressing severe obesity and its associated health challenges, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea. During this consultation, our experienced specialists assess your medical history, weight-loss journey, and lifestyle to determine your eligibility for weight-loss surgery. This personalized evaluation ensures that the chosen surgical procedure—whether it’s gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, or another option—aligns with your specific health needs and long-term goals.
