SERVICES
Evaluations
Evaluations are typically conducted 1-4 months prior to surgery. Appointments last 30-60 minutes and are being conducted virtually. All documentation is completed through a simple, secure portal. Your clearance report will be forwarded directly to your surgical provider.
Follow-Up
If, during your evaluation, we determine there are some things we want to follow up on either pre- or post-surgery, we will schedule another appointment. If at any time after your evaluation, you realize you need extra support with emotional eating or making lifestyle changes, we will devise a plan of action based on your specific needs.
Medical Weight Loss Support
Specialized support is available for medical weight loss patients, focusing on lifestyle changes that coincide with treatment. This type of this support includes working towards emotional well-being, and establishment of sustainable habits, helping patients achieve long-term success.
Bariatric Refresh
If you are previous bariatric patient and want a refresh with your mental and dietary habits, this is a self-guided, virtual program with over 20 different topic modules, including videos, questions for reflection, helpful handouts, and homework sheets.
