Weight loss surgery is a lifelong journey, and it involves mental, physical and lifestyle changes. Presbyterian Bariatric Center will be your partner in health.
Our comprehensive program takes a teamwork approach to weight loss surgery success. We provide:
Weight Loss Navigator
Our specially trained registered nurse will walk you through each step of the bariatric surgery process. From helping you find the doctor that best suits your needs to providing helpful nutritional advice after surgery, your navigator will be with you throughout your journey.
Total Weight Loss Surgery Education
We will help you understand the criteria for surgery and each surgical technique, what to expect during your stay at the hospital and what lifestyle changes to expect after surgery to achieve and maintain weight loss success.
Nutritional Counseling
Good nutrition is key to successful weight loss surgery. We connect you to dietitians and nutritional counseling that will help you maintain a healthy weight loss and ensure that you are eating the best diet before, during and after your surgery.
Pre-Surgical Assistance
From helping you decide which surgical procedure is right for you to assisting you with insurance and billing paperwork, we are here to help.
Pre-Surgical Consultation and Medical Tests
Presbyterian Bariatric Center has access to all of the specialists that you will need to see before your surgery. Our staff will be happy to help answer any questions you have about pre-surgical requirements.
Support Groups
Whether you are considering weight loss surgery, are recuperating from your procedure or are two years down the recovery road, our support group is here for you. You will have an opportunity to talk about your experience and meet people who have also been through weight loss surgery. Research shows that support groups are an important key to success.
Post-Surgical Support
Presbyterian Center for Bariatric Surgery is here to help you long after your surgery. Our supportive staff will ensure that you are progressing as expected and will always be available to provide guidance and answer any questions that you may have as you continue your weight loss journey.
Psychological Support
Each patient must be prepared mentally for all of the lifestyle changes that will occur before, during and after surgery. We help patients explore their hopes, expectations and feelings about their planned surgery.
