1. Submit your Health History Survey by following this link to our secure site: Submit your Health History

2. We’ll call you within 48 hours to schedule your surgical consultation. Calls are made Monday through Friday excluding holidays.

It’s that simple!

In the meantime, we invite you to do the following:

  • Contact your insurance company to verify coverage for weight loss surgery. For more information about insurance qualification and coverage requirements, click here.
  • Register online or call 866-637-0711 to attend a seminar in person, watch the seminar online or watch it during your first appointment. All patients must attend or watch the seminar before surgery. This seminar will provide you with information about obesity, surgery, and our program.
  • Fill out the nutritional questionnaire.

We look forward to working with you to achieve permanent weight loss success.
