What does the bariatric procedure involve?
The bariatric procedure involves surgical interventions that promote weight loss by altering the digestive system's anatomy. It aims to help patients achieve sustainable weight reduction and improve obesity-related health conditions. Our experienced medical team will provide detailed information about the specific procedures during your consultation.
How long is the recovery process?
The recovery process varies depending on the type of bariatric procedure you undergo. Generally, patients can expect a hospital stay of 2-3 days and a gradual return to regular activities within a few days. Our team will guide you through the recovery period with personalized care instructions.
Does insurance cover the treatment?
Insurance coverage for bariatric procedures may vary. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to understand your specific coverage options. Our team can assist you in providing the necessary documentation for insurance claims.
Are there any age restrictions for the procedure?
Bariatric surgery isn't about age limits—it's about tailored care. While most candidates fall between 18 and 65, we're here to evaluate your unique situation. Adolescents above 14 can also explore options when needed. Tell us more about your need - our medical experts assess your health and history for the best path forward.
