When you decide to change your life, you don’t want to wait to get started. Through our FastTrack/Self-Pay bariatric surgery program, you can undergo weight loss surgery in as little as 4-6 weeks from taking the first step to receiving surgical or non-surgical treatment. The FastTrack/Self-Pay option commences with your new patient consultation with your provider. This option helps make your weight loss surgery more affordable in the long run and will give you peace of mind that costs will not get in the way of your new lifestyle.
Contact UsTo qualify for our FastTrack/Self-Pay program, patients need to:
Complete preoperative workup as specified by our office. The minimum requirements include a primary care physician clearance, up-to-date lab work, an appointment with our registered dietitian nutritionist, and attendance at our free pre-operative nutrition class. Based on your surgeon’s professional opinion of your safety and success needs, you may also be asked to get cardiac clearance, GI clearance, and/or psychiatric professional clearance.
Meet the criteria for surgery set forth by The American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (“ASMBS”). Gastric sleeves and Gastric bypasses require a BMI equal to or greater than 35.
Commit to the decision and take the process seriously. If you have completed significant research of your weight-loss options and have seen limited success with other non-surgical weight-loss programs (such as diet and exercise regimens) alone, you will need to commit to making the necessary lifestyle changes to ensure weight-loss goals are accomplished.
