Our Process
1
Consultation
Dr. Bashian will get to know you and determine if you are a candidate for weight-loss surgery. Once you are entered into the program, you will be provided with all of the steps needed to take in order to get you to surgery.
2
Clearances From Other Doctors
Prior to surgery, Dr. Bashian will ask you to be evaluated by a Cardiologist (heart doctor), Pulmonologist (lung doctor), and a Gastroenterologist (stomach & intestines doctor) to ensure your weight-loss surgery is as safe as possible.
3
Your Pre-Op Diet
2 weeks prior to surgery you will be on a special diet consisting of high protein, low carb, and low fat. This will reduce the size of your liver, making the operation much smoother and safer.
4
Surgery Day!
Your procedure will be done laparoscopically (Minimally invasive surgery through tiny incisions). Typically, patients spend one night in the hospital and are discharged the next day.
5
Your Post-Op Diet
You will be on liquids after your surgery for 2 weeks, followed by soft foods, and then regular solid food. Your diet must be kept healthy going forward in order to maintain long term weight loss. Dr. Bashian and his team will be with you every step of the way to help with this.
