If you think the lap-band is right for you the first step you need to take is to attend one of our free seminars. These are taught by the doctors and there is an opportunity to talk to a lap-band patient and ask questions. Attendance at one of our seminars is mandatory.

At the seminar you will receive a packet to fill out with your information. Once that is handed or mailed to our office our doctors will review them, ask for additional information if needed, and approve you as a candidate for surgery. Then you will receive a call from our intake coordinator who will set up the following appointments.

• Pre-op class with the nurse, dietician, psychologist, and exercise physiologist.
• Weigh in and meet with a nurse for pre-surgery diet instructions.
• Consultation with the surgeon.
• Surgery
• Two-week follow up appointment.
