The First step

Question: I have been thinking about weight loss surgery for a long time but I was not sure. Now I have made up my mind and would like to proceed with surgery. Where do I start? I called your office and was given an appointment to see you in 2-3 months?
Answer: You should start seeing your medical doctor for 'Physician Supervised Weight Loss Documentation' as soon as you make up your mind to proceed with weight loss surgery. You do not need to wait to be seen in bariatric surgery office before starting your diet documentation. This is one step that is the most common reason for delays in proceeding with surgery. If you change your mind after 6 months of diet supervision and decide not to have surgery, you will have not lost any thing. You can call our office and request templates of diet documentation sheets to be mailed or faxed to you or you can download them from our website under RESOURCES section.
