A comprehensive medical assessment is imperative when determining the most suitable surgical approach for your needs.
Medical History Review: Our medical team carefully reviews your medical history, including any underlying conditions, previous surgeries, and current medications. This information allows us to assess your overall health status and any potential risks.
The preoperative evaluation is an extensive procedure, overseen by a team of specialists in a complete multi-disciplinary assessment prior to surgery. They will assess your health status through a series of medical evaluations, including laboratory tests, medical imaging, respiratory evaluations, cardiac assessments, surgical consultations, and pre-anesthetic consultations, while also taking into account your body measurements.
These examinations can typically be completed in a single day.
Psychological Evaluation: Bariatric surgery can have a significant impact on mental health and well-being. Our experienced mental health professionals will be by your side, starting with the pre-operative evaluations, to ensure you are mentally prepared for the surgery and the lifestyle changes it entails.
Consultation with Surgeon: You will have the opportunity to meet with your surgeon to discuss the procedure, address any questions or concerns, and establish realistic expectations for the surgery and its outcomes.
