Step 2: Consultation
The next step in the process is a consultation with the surgeon. The consultation will involve scheduling medical and psychological clearances, testing to establish baseline information, and developing the pre-surgical plan, including selecting the surgical procedure to be performed.
Step 3: Education
Education is an important part of preparing for weight loss surgery. Our educational program has three components:
- Patient education class
- Hospital tour with the Bariatric Program Coordinator
- Final pre-surgery visit
Step 5: Follow-Up Care
At the Tennova Center for Surgical Weight Loss, we have developed a program of follow-up care designed to meet your individual needs. Our multi-disciplinary team is here to help you with any physical, emotional, or program compliance challenges that might arise.
