OUT-OF-TOWN WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY
Information for Our Patients Traveling Long Distances
Northwest Weight Loss Surgery attracts patients from across the region, with many of our patients traveling long distances to have weight loss surgery performed by our surgeons. We appreciate this, and take good care of our out-of-town patients and their families.
Planning Your First Visit
Much of the preliminary paperwork for your treatment --including determining if you have an insurance benefit -- can be completed by telephone, fax and email before you arrive for your visit. You can also have any necessary medical tests done in your local area. Call us at 800-979-8982 to begin this process and to plan your pre-surgery visit.
Your first office visit typically consists of three appointments:
- 90 minute patient education appointment with one of our nurses.
- 60 minute consultation with your Surgeon.
- 60 minute psychological evaluation with the psychologist. (You may elect to see your own therapist for this evaluation)
