Surgery
Our personalized approach
As our patients know, the Surgical Weight Loss Program at Emerson Hospital combines surgical experience with personalized, one-on-one supportive care. In addition to offering two surgical options—both performed laparoscopically through small incisions—Emerson’s comprehensive program includes:
A nutritional program designed for you. You will receive a customized approach to your nutritional needs.
Monthly support groups. Both before and after surgery, this forum becomes an important session for information and emotional support.
Psychological testing and counseling. You will receive comprehensive psychological evaluation along with subsequent individual treatment sessions. These will allow you to make an informed decision regarding surgery as well as prepare you for the lifestyle changes that come with weight loss surgery.
Meetings with our dietitian and nurse practitioner. These experienced professionals are committed to your success and will help you throughout the process.
Follow-up care and support. Your journey toward successful, permanent weight loss begins after surgery. Our program is designed to provide the ongoing, one-on-one care you require.
To learn more, we recommend that you attend our information session or support group, which are both required steps in the surgical weight loss process.
