IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS Weight loss surgery is a major surgery. Like all major surgeries there are risks involved. That is why you should make the decision to have weight loss surgery only after careful consideration and consultation with an experienced bariatric surgeon. At Parkview, a qualified surgeon will answer your questions clearly and explain the details of the procedure, the extent of the recovery period, and the follow-up care that will be required. The minimum qualification for consideration as a candidate for the procedure is 100 pounds above ideal body weight. Patients are required to demonstrate unsuccessful weight loss attempts. The surgical candidate’s commitment to the program is important. Post-operative appointments, support group meetings, and dietary supplements are some of aftercare components that are vital to successful weight loss. Our surgical candidates understand that this is a lifestyle change, and the surgery is a component or tool in this change.
