What to expect

What to expect

What happens before, on the day, and through recovery. Knowing the sequence in advance is what keeps ordinary discomfort from feeling like an emergency.

  1. Your First VisitThe first visit is a conversation, not a decision. We read your history, review any testing you bring, and talk through the likely cause. You leave with a plan for what comes next.
  2. Preparing for Your ProcedurePreparation is mostly logistics, and doing it early removes almost all of the day-of stress. This page gives you an overview, with the goal of minimizing or eliminating surprises.
  3. When to CallSome things should never be waited out. Call the office, or seek emergency care if it is severe.
  4. Nutrition After Metabolic and Bariatric SurgeryAfter a metabolic procedure the stomach holds less, so what you put in it matters more. The habits built during the first weeks are the ones that carry the result forward.
  5. Long-Term Follow-Up CareMetabolic disease and reflux are chronic conditions. Treating them is a long relationship, not a single event, and the follow-up is where much of the value lives.
