Patient Information & Handouts (Binder Information)
Weight loss surgery is a major decision. It is not a “quick fix”, and requires a lifelong commitment to diet, exercise, and medical follow-up. This surgery is a consideration only for patients who meet strict clinical criteria.
Patients who have been referred for WLS will use the information on this page to prepare for surgery and as a guide following surgery. Please print all information located here and create a binder. You will need to refer to the information in your binder for the duration of the WLS program.
