How do I Start the Bariatric Process?
The first step is to determine if you are a candidate for bariatric surgery. The National Institute of Health has set forth guidelines to determine who is an appropriate candidate for weight loss surgery. Your insurance company and your surgeon will abide by these guidelines. After you have finished the pre-qualification we will email you the step 2 – 10 to make the process simpler.
Weight Loss Surgery: Which one is Best?
The type of surgery you choose will depend on several factors including; bariatric insurance coverage, your medical history, your current weight and personal expectations, as well as your surgeons recomendations. Gastric Sleeve is one of the newer types of bariatric surgery and many surgeons prefer Gastric Sleeve over Gastric Bypass and Lap Band surgery.

Gastric Bypass Cost in Kansas

Lap Band (Gastric Banding) Cost in Kansas
When talking with the surgeon about specific lap band costs, it is extremely important to question the costs of the procedure from beginning to end. The main costs to keep in mind and consider are any pre-operative tests, hospital charges, surgeon fees, and associated surgery fees. Additional costs can include nutritional counseling, follow-up care, psychological support and any follow-up medical appointments.

How Much Will I lose the first year?
The amount of weight you lose — and how fast you lose it — depends on which weight loss surgery you have. Patients who have adjustable gastric banding (Lap-Band®) procedures usually lose weight more slowly the first year than those who have gastric bypass (RYGB) or duodenal switch procedures (DS), but total weight loss is comparable with each procedure. In our program the average patient loses between 68 to 78 percent of his or her excess body weight after RYGB or DS.
