Gastric sleeve surgery, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, has become a popular and effective solution for weight loss and the management of obesity-related health issues. At Healthy Life Bariatrics, under the expert guidance of Dr. Moein, we recognize that each patient’s journey is unique. To cater to diverse needs and preferences, we have developed a three-tiered approach to gastric sleeve surgery. This approach is designed to provide varying levels of support and resources, ensuring that each patient receives care that is best suited to their individual circumstances.
Before delving into the tiers, it is crucial to understand what gastric sleeve surgery entails. This procedure involves removing a portion of the stomach, resulting in a sleeve or tube-like structure. The surgery not only limits the amount of food that can be consumed but also impacts hunger-regulating hormones, contributing to long-term weight loss.
The highest tier includes all costs associated with the surgery itself. This encompasses the surgeon’s fee, hospital charges, anesthesia, and any other medical expenses incurred during the procedure.
Understanding food sensitivities and allergies is essential for a successful dietary transition post-surgery. This tier includes a thorough evaluation to identify any food allergies, which helps in tailoring a safe and effective diet plan for the patient.
Nutrition is a cornerstone of successful weight loss surgery. This tier offers extensive nutritional support both before and after the surgery. Patients receive personalized dietary plans and ongoing consultations with a nutritionist, ensuring a smooth transition to their new lifestyle.
Postoperative care is vital for long-term success. This tier provides a full year of close follow-up, including regular check-ups and support sessions. These meetings are crucial for monitoring the patient’s progress, addressing any concerns, and making necessary adjustments to their postoperative plan.
Similar to Tier 1, this tier covers all surgical-related expenses, offering patients peace of mind regarding financial aspects of the procedure.
Patients receive detailed nutritional guidance leading up to the surgery, preparing them for the changes they will experience postoperatively.
This tier offers six months of follow-up care, including regular check-ins and support. This period is critical for ensuring that patients are adapting well to their new dietary habits and lifestyle changes.
This tier, while being the most economical, still covers all costs related to the surgical procedure, ensuring that patients receive the same high-quality surgical care as the other tiers.
Patients will have access to preoperative nutritional counseling to prepare them for the changes post-surgery. This includes guidance on diet modifications and healthy eating habits.
Postoperative care for three months is included in this tier. These follow-up visits are essential for monitoring the patient’s initial recovery and weight loss progress.
An initial consultation with Dr. Moein is an integral part of the decision-making process. During this consultation, Dr. Moein will assess your medical history, discuss your weight loss goals, and help you determine which tier best suits your needs.
