Making the decision for weight loss surgery can be overwhelming, so we would like to provide you with as much assistance as possible. The first step in your weight loss journey is requesting an appointment to speak with Dr Finley regarding weight loss and possible surgery. At your first visit, we will obtain a full medical history, discuss whether surgery is right for you, which surgery would be most beneficial, and initiate the pre-operative program. You will receive a Pre-Op Checklist that will help guide you in your journey towards weight loss surgery and you will have a team of healthcare providers managing your pre-operative program and insurance approval. In our program, we stress the importance of dietary education so that you can be as comfortable and successful after surgery.
