Published June 16, 2026
Your journey, step by step
Bariatric surgery is a process, not a single event. Here is what most patients can expect.
1. Consultation
You will meet with a coordinator and surgeon to review your health history and goals.
2. Preparation
A short pre-op program helps you prepare physically and mentally.
3. Surgery & recovery
Most procedures are minimally invasive, with a hospital stay of 1–2 nights.
Always consult a qualified surgeon. Individual results vary.
