Understanding weight loss surgery
A clearer picture.
A personal decision.
Learn what weight loss surgery means, what to ask your surgeon, and how to take the next step in Tulsa.
Ask about weight loss surgeryIs weight loss surgery the same as bariatric surgery?
Yes. Weight loss surgery is also called bariatric or metabolic surgery. These operations treat obesity by changing the stomach and, for some procedures, the intestines. Your surgeon will explain how each option works.
How do I know whether weight loss surgery is right for me?
Start with a consultation. Your surgeon will review your health, weight history, previous treatments, and goals, then discuss possible benefits, risks, and alternatives. An appointment does not commit you to surgery.
Which weight loss procedures can I ask about?
Gastric sleeve and gastric bypass are two types of weight loss surgery. Ask your surgeon how the procedures differ and which options are available and appropriate for you after an evaluation.
What support will I have after weight loss surgery?
Our bariatric program includes follow-up care, nutrition counseling, and support groups. Your care team will discuss preparation, eating changes, recovery, and the ongoing support that applies to your plan.
Will my insurance cover weight loss surgery?
Coverage and approval requirements depend on your insurance plan. Confirm your benefits with your insurer and ask our office about next steps. A consultation request does not confirm coverage or approval.
