Our staff work closely with patients to monitor the recovery process and ensure the necessary steps are taken for optimal healing.The first two-weeks after surgery, you will receive a phone call from one of our nurses to ensure you're doing well and are on track for recovery. Patients also have lifetime access to support groups. We will be with you every step of the way.
Post-Surgery Process
Two Weeks After Surgery
At two weeks, you will have your first in-office visit with the surgeon and dietitian. You will be weighed and have your incisions checked. Your surgeon will also evaluate your diet and see if it can be advanced.
Four Weeks After Surgery
At four weeks, you will have another in-office visit for a routine checkup. Staff will assess your dietary intake, how your surgical wounds are healing and obtain measurements including body weight, fat mass and circumference around the abdomen and hips.
Three Months After Surgery
On this visit, you will again be seen for the general assessments described above. You may also participate in the group medical visits for added education and support.
Six to Nine Months After Surgery
You will have follow-up visits at the six and nine month mark following surgery. More measurements will be taken, and you will see the dietitian. An optional consultation with the behavioral health coach is also available.
