Successful weight loss surgery depends a great deal on proper preparation.
At Kettering Weight Loss Surgery we focus on far more than performing surgery. Our
involvement begins much earlier, with the needs of each individual.
Weight loss surgery is not for everyone, and different procedures
can yield varying benefits for each patient. We will work with you
to assess your unique situation, analyze your previous attempts
at weight management, discuss your specific goals and explore treatment
options.
To learn more about who is a good candidate for weight loss surgery
and how to prepare for high quality results, keep reading. We'll discuss what you can do at home,
in consultation with a physician and the weight loss surgery program.

Weight loss surgery may sound like a simple cure for a complicated
problem, but the truth is successful results depend greatly
on a patient's personal dedication. The surgery will not simply
change the way you look or even feel. It can dramatically alter
your lifestyle in terms of what and how you eat, your energy and
activity levels, attitudes toward yourself and others and your
entire outlook on life. While most of these changes will be positive
and welcome ones, they can still be unsettling.
Knowing what to expect and planning ahead can greatly improve a
patient's chances of success. You've already taken an important first
step by conducting research online. So you can learn about weight
loss surgery in general or our comprehensive program specifically,
we've assembled useful resources you can access from your home.
Please visit the links to the left, and when you're ready to learn
more, consider attending a free information
session provided by participating physicians.

We recommend anyone considering weight loss surgery consult
with his/her primary care physician. Your doctor will know your medical
history and should be able to easily evaluate your general level
of health, your need for the surgery and your fitness to undergo
it.
In addition, many insurance companies
require a doctor's referral, records of previous failed obesity
treatments, and a letter establishing medical necessity before authorizing
weight loss surgery.

Electing to undergo any surgery is a major decision, and we want
to help you make sure it's the right one. The program's participating surgeons each offer regular
information sessions, free of charge. All patients must attend one of these seminars before scheduling
surgery.
Sessions are offered regularly and are always open to the public. Each session features presentations
on obesity as a medical condition. In addition, you'll learn about:
- Surgical Options
- Typical Results
- Expert Surgeons
- Unique Facilities
- Weight Loss Surgery Program
- Dietary Consultation
- Exercise Consultation
- Psychiatric Consultation
- Nurses
- Support Groups
Kettering Weight Loss Surgery is unique in the region and perhaps
the country for its comprehensive focus. From the first time you
consider weight loss surgery to the day you celebrate a decade of
post-surgery health (and beyond), we will be there with staff, services,
and other resources to support you every step of the way.
