Where Your Journey Begins

Taking the first step can be overwhelming, but we’re here to guide you through every step along the way!

Changing your life

Your journey begins by attending an initial bariatric consultation and information session, where our team can explain what obesity is, evaluate your treatment options, and what surgical options can be available for you.

Next, you will meet with our dietitian and other members of the team. Our providers help determine if you’re a good candidate for weight loss surgery and if so, what surgery option is best for you. You are the most important team member—if you think non-surgical options are best for you, our team will connect you with the best resources to meet your goals!
