Your Weight Loss Surgery Consultation

Once you have decided to consider weight loss surgery in Los Angeles, it’s time to take the first step toward beginning your weight loss journey. Even if you are not entirely sure that bariatric surgery is right for you, feel free to schedule a weight loss surgery consultation at our office in Lakewood, California.

Our board-certified bariatric surgeon Dr. Shyam Dahiya and our entire team of experienced weight loss surgery professionals is ready to get to know you and help you make the right decision for your health.

Don’t Be Nervous about Your Weight Loss Surgery Consultation

We understand that deciding to have weight loss surgery is a huge step, so we encourage you to take your time and consider all your options. We want you to feel totally comfortable talking to our doctors about obesity and the way being heavy makes you feel about yourself.

We won’t judge you for being overweight, and we won’t pressure you into making a decision right away. This process is about you making the choice to change your life on your own terms.

Taking the First Step Toward Overcoming Obesity with Surgery

When you first walk into our office for your bariatric surgery consultation, we’ll make you feel at home. We’ll take down your information and record your weight and Body Mass Index (BMI). Next, you’ll meet with one of our experienced bariatric surgeons, Dr. Dahiya and Dr. Stephen Russell Kerr. Your surgeon will go over each weight loss surgery option in detail, explaining the risks and benefits of each procedure to help you decide which bariatric surgery is right for you.

For example, you may have questions about gastric bypass surgery or wonder just how LAP-BAND® surgery works. We’ll take the time to tell you everything you need to know to make an informed decision and feel confident about it. We’ll even make sure that you have plenty of information about the possible risks and complications of bariatric surgery to take home to your spouse or your family, who want to know that you’ll be safe.

We’ll also help you find out what it takes to get insurance coverage for weight loss surgery and explain how to get financing for weight loss surgery if you need it. Some insurance companies require you to have records of your efforts to lose weight without surgery from your regular medical doctor. If necessary, we’re happy to welcome your spouse or your family doctor to your weight loss surgery consultation.
