Schedule a consultation with our experienced bariatric team at Las Vegas Surgical Associates to discuss your weight loss goals and determine if bariatric surgery is the right option for you. Our compassionate team will guide you through the process with care and expertise.
During your first visit, your surgeon’s goal is to develop an understanding of your individual needs. You’ll discuss efforts you’ve made to lose weight up until that point, as well as any issues or specific health concerns you may have. This might include issues fitting into clothes, self-esteem issues, pain in your joints, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure. If you have a weight loss journal or notes on your weight loss efforts, bring them along to help you easily recall and share relevant information with your surgeon. This visit will likely be very personal, but it’s also an opportunity to get to know your surgeon and determine whether you’re compatible and can work together.
The surgeon will also talk to you about your health goals and determine whether or not you’re a candidate for bariatric surgery. You may be recommended to receive a psychological evaluation or diagnostic testing, a possible consultation with a nutritionist, and make lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise before surgery.
